  3. Requirements ▪ The cold mass will be supported by 5 weld stations ▪ Each weld station will have 2-4 saddle supports ▪ Weight of cold mass is effectively evenly distributed ▪ Weld stations should minimize deformation ▪ Stress on all components should be below the allowable yield ▪ A combination of FEA and manual calculations was performed to verify design requirements HL-LHC AUP Production Readiness Review – Dec 2018 3

  4. Areas of Interest ▪ Stress in Frame ▪ Saddle Support Deformation ▪ Leveling Feet ▪ Welds ▪ Only on the sections supporting the saddle support HL-LHC AUP Production Readiness Review – Dec 2018 4

  5. Simulation Setup ▪ Simulation ran for each weld station configuration ▪ 5 weld stations ▪ 3 different configurations of saddle supports ▪ Load on each saddle support was calculated ▪ Models cleaned and imported into ANSYS 18.2 HL-LHC AUP Production Readiness Review – Dec 2018 5

  6. Simulation Setup ▪ Models meshed ▪ Between 672K – 723K Nodes ▪ Boundary conditions applied ▪ Calculated reaction forces on each saddle support ▪ Fixed supports ▪ 6 for leveling feet ▪ 4 for alignment bolts ▪ Gravitational acceleration HL-LHC AUP Production Readiness Review – Dec 2018 6
