Self-consistent simulations are performed to verify the theoretical predictions of adiabatic thermal beams in periodic solenoidal magnetic focusing fields*,**. In particular, results are obtained for adiabatic thermal beams that do not rotate in the Larmor frame. For such beams, the theoretical predictions of the rms beam envelope, the conservation of the rms thermal emittance, the adiabatic equation of state, and the Debye length are verified in the self-consistent simulations.

Traditionally, the average turn length and number of turns of a conventional magnet coil is roughly estimated during the magnet physical design. Based on these estimates, the resistance, water flow and overall dimensions of the coil are calculated. But for a complex coil shape, it is very difficult to determine how many turns a coil will have and, more importantly, specifically how it will be wound. In many cases, an engineer will use a scale model to do a winding trial, but the coil parameters, such as the conductor length and overall coil dimensions, still cannot be precisely determined. 3D CAD modeling was used for the design of the Advanced Light Source (ALS) combined function sextupole magnet coils. The winding procedures for 11 types of coils were all determined by the models. The resistances and water flow requirements of those coils were calculated from the 3D models, and those parameters were used as criteria for production quality control thereafter. This paper will introduce some basic modeling techniques that are useful for 3D CAD modeling of magnet coils. The coil data comparison between 3D model and true built coils will be introduced as well.
