Abstract

Safety performance assessments are very important for the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) GDC (glow discharge conditioning) conceptual design. This paper introduces a force analysis of the ITER GDC electrode using ANSYS APDL. The electrode model is imported into the original ITER finite element model. The partial and global models are coupled by the model processing and constraint equations are generated for the contact surfaces. The method is then used for three-dimensional transient electromagnetic field computations with plasma disruption. The predicted electromagnetic force on the electrode support for the ITER GDC structural analysis.
