[en] This report describes the analysis performed to establish the sensitivity of winding gaps on conductor hoop stress. Since this task was a follow-on to the program that confirmed the structural integrity of the MFTF magnet case, jacket, and shield system, every effort was made to utilize analysis methods and tools developed during that program. The large, 5000 degree of freedom GDSAP model developed during that program which was used extensively throughout this analysis task is presented. This model accurately represents the case and jacket structure and simulates the conductor pack stiffness with an array of interconnected rod elements. All results contained herein are based on linear-elastic, small deflection theory. To enable us to use this analysis tool, homogenization techniques were utilized to idealize the non-linear gap problem into a linear problem compatible with our existing analysis techniques. Details of the homogenization are presented
