1 2008 International ANSYS Conference CivilFEM with ANSYS: New advanced NPP features for the Nuclear Renaissance Ph. D. Eduardo Salete Head R&D Ingeciber, s.a ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 1 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

2 What is CivilFEM with ANSYS? CivilFEM is the customized version of ANSYS targeted at the Civil Engineering World wide market. Goals: To position CivilFEM with ANSYS as the ww leading solution of the NPP Civil Engineering and Structural Analysis. To offer capabilities not present in any other software for Civil Nuclear Industry ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 2 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

8 Seismic Analysis Utilities to make easier the seismic spectral analyses: Spectrum definition according to codes (Eurocode 8, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese GB50011, UBC, etc.) Automatic mode combinations according to code specifications. Takes into account positive and negative forces and moments combinations ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 9 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

9 Seismic Analysis Non Linear Time History Analysis Push-Over and Retrofit Analysis: From the spectrum definition, it is possible to perform a Push-Over calculation which allows: Analyze the evolutive behavior of the structure. Determine its weak points. Analyze the Retrofit effect ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 10 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

10 Prestressed Reinforced Concrete 3D Tendon Editor It allows the definition and edition of the geometric and strength properties of all tendons of a structure. The geometry may be shown and edited either graphically or by coordinates Graphical visualization of all prestressing losses for each tendon along the structure (short term and long term losses) 2008 ANSYS, Inc.

12 Case Study Case Study: Modification of a Containment Building The cylinder is 20 m. high and has a diameter of 30 m. The dome has a radius of 25 m. The centre of the dome is located in the centre of the base of the cylinder. The wall is 1 meter thick ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 13 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

13 Case Study: Shell Elements The cylinder has a line of nodes every 9 degrees. The height of the cylinder is divided into 20 parts. The dome has a free meshing ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 14 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

15 Case Study: Prestressing Losses All different losses for every tendon at every cut 2008 ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 16 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

16 Case Study: Calculation Steps Step 1: The whole model is calculated subjected to its self weight and an internal pressure of 35 t/m 2. Step 2: A hole is drilled in the cylinder. All the cables attached to this hole disappear. The internal pressure also disappears. Step 3: The hole is refilled with a new concrete. All the cables that had been eliminated are created again. Internal pressure is applied ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 17 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

17 Case Study: Sequential Analysis The sequential analysis has been performed using the activation time of the materials as it is shown in the table below. Activation time Deactivation time Component 1 0 Component ,001 Component 3 10, ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 18 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

18 Case Study: Creep and Shrinkage Apart from time dependent properties (concrete resistance, elastic modulus, etc.), concrete elements will be subjected to creep and shrinkage. Creep: Step by step method: A non linear analysis is run. At every step the creep coefficient will be updated and new loads will be considered. Effective modulus: Used when loads are applied almost at the same time. An equivalent elastic modulus is considered. Only one analysis is run and the calculation time is reduced in more than ten times. Shrinkage: The user can select the age of concrete at which shrinkage must start ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 19 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary

19 Case Study: Creep and Shrinkage No creep, step by step or effective modulus option for creep analysis Select the label creep/shrinkage in the material window Shrinkage option and time at which shrinkage must start ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved. 20 ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary
