Abstract
A Systems Code analysis has been developed which provides a tool for the assessment of design points for future spherical torus (ST) devices. The code includes algorithms for plasma physics as well as engineering aspects, which are necessarily simplified but sufficient to capture the essential design-driving considerations. This paper describes the methodology and presents some example cases from ongoing studies.
