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 | |||
