abstract = {The structural integrity of superconducting magnets that
are key elements of a fusion reactor must be ensured. At an
early design stage relatively simple calculation tools can
greatly facilitate design optimization. The main objective
of this paper is the mechanical pre-dimensioning of the
tokamak toroidal field coils by simple means prior to the
global 3D numerical modeling. A semi-analytical calculation
tool that reasonably estimates the static strength of the
toroidal field coil under the electromagnetic forces at the
critical location (inner leg equatorial plane) is described.
The novelty of the approach is that it treats not only the
massive coil casing but also the winding pack conductor
jacket under an essentially 3D stress state. The calculation
tool features pre-optimization of the coil winding for
graded layered winding layouts. The minimum space (radial
built) required for the coil inboard portion that is a key
design parameter is defined after possible winding
pre-optimization. The procedure has been successfully
benchmarked against numerical solutions and has been used
for pre-dimensioning the toroidal coils in the frame of the
current 2015 DEMO activity.},
