Quick start
To run the model, open helix.pro with Gmsh.
Additional information
The model uses a magnetic field formulation and the Gmsh cohomology solver
[1]. The nonlinear resistivity \rho =\frac{E_c}{J_c}\left(\frac{||\vec{J}||}{J_c}\right)^{n-1} in the
superconducting filaments is linearized as in [3]. The number and layers of
superconducting filaments, the twist pitch as well as the radius of the
conducting matrix are parametrizable, and the model can be solved both in 2D and
in 3D.
