3D-MAPTOR Code for computation of magnetic fields in tokamaks*

A 3dimensional code has been developed in order to determine the magnetic field in tokamaks, starting from the assumption that the toroidal and vertical field coils are all circular, as well as the cross section of the plasma current distribution. It was earlier used to study the stochastization of the outer magnetic surfaces [1] and to reconstruct the evolution of the plasma column, using the experimental signals of tokamak discharges. These results were compared with tomographic reconsructions of the ISTTOK tokamak [2]. We present an upgrade of the code, in which rectangular toroidal field coils and D shaped plasma current cross sections can be included. The code is particularly useful to study the effect of the ripple along the toroidal coordinate.\\[4pt] [1] E.
