Abstract The displacement and stress distributions in toroidally arranged circular superconducting coils producing the toroidal field for fusion experiments are computed by a finite element method. The results are compared with the displacement and stress distributions in one superconducting coil which forms part of different arrangements simulating torus conditions. Four arrangements with three coils are discussed; three of them consist of one superconducting coil with an inner coil winding diameter of 0.94 m and a maximum stored magnetic energy of 2.1 MJ, and two copper coils which were designed for experimental tests. The fourth 3-coil arrangement consists of three identical superconducting coils forming a sector of the torus.
