Recent advances in second generation (YBCO) high temperature superconducting wire could potentially enable the design of super high performance energy storage devices that combine the high energy density of chemical storage with the high power of superconducting magnetic storage. However, the high aspect ratio and considerable filament size of these wires requires the concomitant development of dedicated optimization methods that account for the critical current density in type II superconductors. Here, we report on the novel application and results of a CPU-efficient semi-analytical computer code based on the Radia 3D magnetostatics software package. Our algorithm is used to simulate and optimize the energy density of a superconducting magnetic energy storage device model, based on design constraints, such as overall size and number of coils. The rapid performance of the code is pivoted on analytical calculations of the magnetic field based on an efficient implementation of the Biot-Savart law for a large variety of 3D "base" geometries in the Radia package. The significantly reduced CPU time and simple data input in conjunction with the consideration of realistic input variables, such as material-specific, temperature and magnetic field-dependent critical current densities have enabled the Radia-based algorithm to outperform finite element approaches in CPU time at the same accuracy levels. Comparative simulations of MgB₂ and YBCO-based devices are performed at 4.2 K, in order to ascertain the realistic efficiency of the design configurations
