A time dependent two-dimensional MHD calculation for pinch experiments, previously developed at Columbia, is improved and modified so that very long calculations (until the plasma reaches a quasi-equilibrium state) are possible. The calculation method is presented, and the simulation results of the Jutphaas screw pinch SP-1 and the Los Alamos reverse-field pinches ZT-I, ZT-S and ZT-40 are studied.
