Review text

Details are presented of the PIES code, which uses a nonvariational algorithm for calculating fully three-dimensional MHD equilibria. The convergence properties of the code are studied for several axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric finite \(\beta\) equilibria that have magnetic surfaces.
