Numerical tools appear to be essential for modeling and designing devices based on superconducting materials. In this article different simulation results are presented, using a computer code based on the finite element method adopted for the resolution of the electromagnetic equations, in the case of an axisymmetric two-dimensional problem, with this code we study the variations of the different electromagnetic quantities. The second generation superconductor has been modeled as an interesting diamagnetic material as inductive pulse sources. The performance in magnetic field resistance, energy storage and thermal stability of the ribbon, known as YBCO, makes it possible to broaden its field of application. Two categories of machines have been proposed and analyzed, the first is classic and the second uses a superconducting ribbon. In addition, a comparative study between the two proposed models is carried out and the results are analyzed and discussed.

The pulsed field magnetization method and the modified multi-pulse technique with stepwise cooling are presented. We adopt the control volume method for solving the thermomagnetic system describing the physical phenomena. The electromagnetic fields and temperature are computed because of an explicit algorithm. The results are compared with published experimental results and show a good concordance
