"""" Scripts to run a LOCA analysis Author: Ramiro MENA-ANDRADE ([email protected]) Date: 2022/12/09 Citation: R.Mena, R. Franqueira Ximenes, M.Calviani, Loss-of-Coolant-accident-study for the Beam Dump Facility at CERN, NURETH-19 Conference 2022. """" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This script contains the files to run a complete analysis for a Loss-of-Coolant-accident (LOCA) for the BDF target. It is composed by the following files 00_main_script.py: runs the whole analysis (to be executed in Ansys Workbench File/Scripting/Run Script File... 01_geometry_blocks.py: parameteric definition of the BDF target blocks (in case of modification, use SpaceClaim) 02_mesh_blocks.py: definition of the mesh for the subsequent subsystems 03_thermal_steady_blocks.py: definition of the steady temperature profile under nominal conditions (requires to load a csv file) 04_thermal_transient_blocks.py: definition of the transient temperature profile under LOCA conditions (natural convection) 05_static_structural_blocks.py: definition of the thermal stresses generated after a thermal step Limitations: 1. The external file imports a Heat Generation load. It must be defined manually in the steady thermal step. 2. For the geometry in general: - most of the features in the geometry script are generated by using indexes of the features (e.g. edges, surfaces) - in case of an important modification, the new indexes must be provided manually (it should be better to use Filters) - the geometry is oriented along the x axis (longitudinal) instead of the Z axis of the Fluka files 3. The Fluka files are loaded by using the Fluka Plugin (J.Maestre 2021). To complete the set up you need to manually insert: - The location of the Fluka files (.lis) needs to be modified manually in the 04_thermal_transient_blocks.py file (if different files are applied) - The named selection where the load is applied (e.g Load Table\Geometry Selection\Named Selection\...) - The time Factor (e.g Load Table\Definition\TimeDependent\ Click and put 1 as Factor, then click Apply) 4. The published data only contains two cases for the Fluka files (for size limitations) For the complete Fluka files, contact the author or Rui Franqueira Ximenes ([email protected])
