The mathematical model of an accelerator’s magnetic field, which takes into account its symmetry, the nonlinearity of an armature characteristic B(H), and eddy currents, has been investigated. The model has been developed on the basis of the finite elements method. The armature that moves under the applied Ampere’s force has been represented as a movable distribution of magnetic permeance.
