RE: USRBIN Energy deposition

Hi Beatrice,

I've used USRBIN generated dose maps as interpolated functions in COMSOL
to calculate heat flow caused by dose deposited, I've not had any
experience with ANSYS but there may be some similarities between the two
FEA packages.=20

I've done this by taking the dose in Gy/particle at points over the
geometry (each bin being one point) which is then interpolated over the
entire geometry as a function (be careful with regions of vacuum as the
edges will curve down rather than being sharp edges). This is then
multiplied by the number of particles per second and the density of the
materials to give heating power function.

Hope this helps in some way.
All the best
Patrick

Subject: USRBIN Energy deposition

Dear Fluka users,
          I would like to ask you: how can I exploit USRBIN analysis in
terms of energy deposition to apply it to thermo-mechanical analysis
(let's say for instance with ANSYS code). I mean: is it better to
consider results from USRBIN in terms of temperature at the boundary
or in terms of thermal flux at a surface? And does it make sense to
take USRBIN results after a specific moment in an irradiation profile
(as initial conditions in terms of temperature or thermal flux as you
say it is more suitable) and study how stresses evolve in time by
means of ANSYS?
Thank you in advance ,
my best regards
