FERMI@Elettra is a soft X-ray fourth generation light source under construction at the ELETTRA laboratory. To characterize the beam phase space by means of measurements of the bunch length and of the transverse slice emittance two deflecting cavities will be positioned at two points in the linac. One will be placed at 250 MeV (low energy), after the first bunch compressor (BC1); the second at 1.2 GeV (high energy), just before the FEL process starts. The Low-Energy RF Deflector consists in a 5 cells, standing wave, normal conducting, RF copper cavity. A single ANSYS model has been developed to perform all of the calculations in a multi-step process. In this paper we discuss and report on results of electromagnetic, thermal, and structural analysis.
