A quench program using ANSYS is developed for the high field collider magnet for 3-D analysis. Its computational procedure is explained. The quench program is applied to a one meter Nb/sub 3/Sn high field model magnet, which is epoxy impregnated. The quench simulation program is used to estimate the temperature and mechanical stress inside the coil as well as over the whole magnet. It is concluded that for the one meter magnet with the presented cross section and configuration, the thermal effects due to the quench is tolerable. But we need much more quench study and improvements in the design for longer magnets.
