Professional software is presented for superconducting quench simulation, applicable to magnets with a single or multiple coils, with or without iron, operating in either the persistent mode or from external power. Drift, dump and charge simulations are also possible. The method assumes that a quenc
Methods to increase quench currents of superconducting magnets and to make them more predictable are discussed. Some of the methods are well known while others are unusual (like that of 'electrodynamic treatment'). The results of practical implementation of all methods under discussion are presente
In case of resistive transition of a LHC superconducting magnet ("quench"), the stored energy is dissipated in the winding within a few tenths of a second. A fraction of this energy is transferred to the helium inside the windings and around the beam tubes, causing expansion and axial flow. This res
