Due to its speed in computing the MHD equilibrium problem in 3-D it has become the "de facto" standard code for calculating 3-D equilibria. This means that practically all the laboratories
with stellerator devices uses it. It has also been used to model tokamak equilibria and lately (2010) it has been applied to reverse field pinches, in particular helical equilibria (non-axisymmetric) in the RFX-Mod
