Design and structural analysis of ITER upending tool for sector sub-assembly

This paper describes UT design and upending sequence by two cranes with target components (VV and TFC) and presents the analysis results performed for the final design to verify the structural integrity of UT. The analysis cases for this verification are composed of the horizontal and vertical supporting on the floor and lifting. The simplified FE models for the lifted components (VV and TFC) that are provided from ITER Organization Central Team (IOCT) are used for this structural analysis.
