Some aspects of electromagnetic (EM) simulation of the central divertor cassettes (CDC) in the ITER tokamak are described. The study is focused on EM loads anticipated on the plasma-facing units (PFU) of CDC. The paper is devoted to the EM simulations of the most dangerous scenarios associated with high mechanical stresses: fast downward vertical displacement events of Categories II and III with 36-ms linear current quench (FD VDE-II and FD VDE-III with 36-ms LCQ). The selected events have been analyzed using the original TORNADO code intended for simulation of transient EM processes in 3D solids using the finite element representation. Results of computations include evolutions of EM loads on PFUs in the form of integral EM forces and moments, their peak values and relevant time points.
