  Finite Element Analysis(FEA) is a design tool widely implemented in the design of synchrotron instrumentation to predict behavior of a particular design under the assumed real life conditions. Although FEA is a very popular and trusted design tool in use for several decades, it is of paramount importance to emphasize that it is only as accurate as the user’s input into the analysis and the interpretation of the results. In its introduction the tutorial will cover the importance of accurate inputs into the analysis and correct interpretation of the results as well as the best practices in how to improve said accuracies. Second part will cover the nature of the phenomena analyzed with thermal and structural simulations with the emphasis on the seemingly paradoxical fact that thermally loaded structures frequently fail only upon load removal. The third part will cover thermal and structural simulations with several examples. The tutorial will be concluded with alternate applications of FEA in the design of synchrotron instrumentation. Examples of multi-physic and vibration analysis, component weight optimization, and the analysis of the acoustic levitation supports will be presented.

Tubular vacuum chamber assemblies made of aluminum, copper and stainless steel alloys will be used in the new Multi Bend Achromat (MBA) storage ring that is being developed at Advanced Photon Source (APS). Details of the new lattice magnet system design and ring impedance considerations continue to drive these vacuum chambers to smaller dimensions and thinner walls with tighter geometric tolerances under higher thermal loads. It is important to carefully evaluate the methods used to join these dissimilar metal components looking for compromise in primary strength, permeability, electrical and thermal properties while still creating structures that are ultra-high vacuum compatible and leak-tight. This paper visually details the underlying metallurgical changes that occur when joining various combinations of aluminum, OFE copper, GlidCop® and stainless steel using brazing, bonding and welding techniques. Each of the techniques has its advantages and disadvantages with engineering and economic consequences.
