BOND Mechanical design discussion #1

Friday 9 May 2025, 15:00 → 16:00 Europe/Zurich

Comments and action items below:

 

UPDATE ON SIMULATIONS:

• Endplate design: Matthieu will send the first preliminary 2D-drawings, Jose will simulate it in ANSYS 3D
  • (Task for Jose)
• 2D Cross section: Matthieu will send the updated 2D-drawings of the cross section with the new encapsulated bladders and detailed features. Vendela will update this new geometry into the baseline ANSYS 2D model (we should add a geometry file for the encapsulated bladder assembly)
  • (Task for Vendela)
• Vendela to check the impact of making the rails in G10 (once the previous point is done)
  • (Task for Vendela)

 

UPDATE ON DESIGN CHOICES:

• Impregnation concept and V-Pad: An alternative proposal for the impregnation concept and V-pad length adjustment (without adaptive filler) will be prepared and presented in the usual BOND slot (Nico P. and Mathieu)
  • (Task for Nico & Mathieu)
• Vertical filler: Proposal as well to remove the 5 mm filler in between the top of the coil and the V-pad
  • (Task for Nico & Mathieu)
• ARMCO laminations: Ariel to check the available thickness of the ARMCO bougth by HFM
  • (Task for Ariel)
• Ground insulation: Coil insulation layour to be defined. IMPORTANT! Today we do not have a solution on how to wrap the ground insulation around the coil without big discontinuities.
  • (Task for all)
