The aims of this article is presentation of a numerical simulation of the six degrees of freedom evolution of an inertial flywheel with high speed rigidly bound to a permanent magnet close a multifilamentaries superconductors winding. The simulation starts immediately after injecting an initial current in the winding and short circuiting it. We studied two configurations. One qualified as pendulum type in which the magnet is `suspended' to the winding and the other as a top type, the magnet `resting' on the winding. The simulation leads to a steady state conditions only for the pendulum type.
