Using magnetic field to confine the plasma can realize controlled nuclear fusion. A device called Force Free Helical Reactor (FFHR) using helical coils to generate a magnetic trap is being designed by National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) in Japan. Because the FFHR has the plasma with a complicated three-dimensional (3D) structure, 3D design of the in-vessel components is necessary. In the past, the design of the in-vessel components has been conducted based on the discrete two-dimensional poloidal cross-sectional shapes. However, this method is not effective and complete check of the interference is difficult. Since plasma movement follows the magnetic field lines, the plasma shape could be generated from them.Marching cubes method is applied for generating the polygon mesh. A graphic software is used for modifying and rendering.

A magnetic field is used to confine the plasma to achieve controlled fusion. Therefore, since the movement of the plasma follows magnetic field lines, a plurality of magnetic field lines is calculated from electromagnetic field simulation results in a fusion reactor. Because of the complicated distribution of magnetic field lines in three-dimensional (3D) space, existing analysis measures which are mostly based on two-dimensional poloidal plasma cross-sections are unsatisfactory for domain experts. To solve this problem, we propose a technique for reconstructing a regular scalar field from the magnetic field lines. First, on poloidal plasma cross-sections, intersection points of magnetic field lines are used to make annotations of learning the plasma shape. Then, a deep neural network is built to approximate the scalar field that represents the probability of the existence of magnetic field lines. Consequently, a 3D model of plasma shape has managed to be constructed by applying the marching cubes method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing it with the conventional method and domain experts' reviews.
