The generation of high magnetic fields for scientific and industrial applications, in particular those techniques which meet critical limits of field strength, coil heating, and mechanical stress as well, require a careful design and modelling based on finite-element simulation. In order to describe the mutual dependences of the electrical, thermodynamical, and mechanical processes in such systems in a reasonable way, the use of multi-physics modules of the finite-element software packages becomes more and more relevant. Here, the designs based on finite- element simulations of pulsed magnetic field coils for extreme magnetic flux densities up to 100 Tesla as well as pulsed power supplies for the generation of electrical current pulses up to the Mega-Ampere range are presented. A survey on recent technical progresses in science and industry is given.
