In this work, a surface current plasma model is coupled to a volume integral formulation for studying the interaction between tokamak tearing modes (TMs) and the machine metallic structures surrounding the plasma. By evaluating the passive response on a set of pickup probes, TMs’ amplitude is estimated.
