Abstract: A method for calculating the shape of a band-shaped superconductor (3) of a solenoid-shaped coil section of a high-field magnet coil (1) in a transfer region (5) is characterized in that the band-shaped superconductor (3) is changed in the transfer region from a first orientation (3a) tangentially flatly abutting on the surface of a cylindrical coil body (2) and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical coil body (2) to a second orientation (3b) with its narrow side seating on the surface of the cylindrical coil body and parallel to the longitudinal direction (or vice versa).
