The aim of this article is to describe and model a sawtooth crash in RFX-mod2 and compute the eddy currents induced in the stabilizing shell surrounding the plasma for two alternative gap concepts and the subsequent error field. The sawtooth crash displacement of the plasma column is represented by a vacuum model coupled with a suitable magneto-quasi-static (MQS) volume integral (VI) formulation.
