NSTX outer TF leg analysis (with radius rods and VV added)

*Full 360º model and VV added.

*Al blocks connected to umbrella structure

*totally 24 radius rods added: 12 upper and 12 lower.

*cases with symm and asym PF curr are studied

*welded ring: 2.8”x2.8” rect solidRadius rod: 2”x2” rect solidRadius rod supt: 2”x2” rect solid

Totally 24 radius rods added (12

upper and 12 lower)

Symm:Asym:

Radius rods supt struct

1. welded ring (2.8x2.8” rect solid), radius rods (2”x2”), radius rods supt struct (2”x2”)

Symm PF curr: coil theta displacement (mm)

In previous result, max uy is ~4mm. Now max uy is 7.8mm. It seems 2”x2” radius rods not strong enough and umbrella structure deform more. I am increasing the thickness of

radius rods to 3”x3”

Asym PF curr: coil theta displacement (mm)

16mm
