Disclaimer:
The designs and models for the detector, supports,and mobile platform used for the ANSYS simulations are crude at best and simplified to speed computation.The actual designs and subsequent performance may differ vastly. Scales are exaggerated on ANSYScontour plots for visual effect.
SiD SolidEdge 3D Model
Detector, supports, and platform one completeunit made of A36 steel.
Young’s Modulus=30e6 PSI
Poisson’s Ratio=.27
36 Air Caster Platform SolidEdge 3D Model
Air casters, steel beams,and plates one completeunit made of A36 steel.
Young’s Modulus=30e6 PSI
Poisson’s Ratio=.27
Both units imported intoANSYS as IGS and fused into one volume.

Platform Twisting with Gravity
Coarse mesh for fast computation = circlesbecome polygons.
Want to investigate distortion of centralbarrel. Must use globalgravity vs. 313 PSI.
Platform Twisting with Gravity
Displacement is uniformaxially across central barrel.
Distortion of barrel geometry due to coarse mesh.
Platform Twisting with Gravity
Displacement ofplatform structure = -.49mm to +1.67mm.
Displacement is uniform transversely across central barrel.
Work In Progress……
• Add details of steel yoke plate structure to detector model. (CMS style or BaBar style?)
• Create SolidEdge model of solenoid/calorimeter.
• Simulations with more realistic models and cyclical loading of IR floor.
