| Abstract | One of the main problems to the designer of RF structures used in particle accelerators is to estimate their sensitivity to thermomechanical effects. These parameters are the basis for the choice of the tuning strategy and for the determination of the feedback architecture. We explored the possibility of using ANSYS to perform such simulations in a single environment. Some examples of the most common problems of interaction between electromagnetic fields and thermomechanical effects are presented and, when possible, compared to measurements. Problems encountered are outlined. (2 refs) . |
