LINAC Electrical Cabinets - Structural Analysis

Along LINAC s downstream path is a floor containing various cabinets above the LINAC. Of the dozens of cabinets are 4 specific cabinet types: PNF Modulator, PNF Power Supply, Water Skid, and Marx. Each of these cabinets may contain some of the various contents that include electronics, wiring, pipelines, circuits, and conduits. Lab Technicians perform maintenance and inspections of the cabinets and need to access every part, including the top section that is subject to the weight of the technician standing on top. To ensure the cabinet is structurally safe, a CAD model will be developed for each cabinet and a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) will be performed on each cabinet to confirm it is safe to stand on.
