Notes from 4/13/2011 Meeting:
Design Point Spreadsheet Checking (Neumeyer) (See Spreadsheet)
The design point spreadsheet with checking assignments is posted. The assignments are shown in 
the added GREEN columns in the summary sheets.   In many cases you will need to refer to the 
detailed spreadsheets to look at the equations used to produce the summary sheets.  Responsible 
individuals should review their assignments and return their spreadsheet to Neumeyer with their 
approval noted in the checker comments column.  If there are any questions or changes required 
contact C. Neumeyer.

Update on the structural support mods  (Smith) (see VGs)
M. Smith provided an update on the support structures final design.  Input has been received 
from the construction and weld engineers regarding the field work required to implement the 
design.  The changes recommended will make the design both stronger and easier to install.  At 
the bottom of the machine the pedestal will need to be replaced and the baseplate to distribute 
loads enlarged.  This will impact some of the utilities entering the machine beneath the umbrella 
structure.  Action: M. Smith to provide details of the space requirements, M. Denault and Raki to 
provide a plan for the relocation of the water lines and machine ground bus.
There are also interferences between the OTF leg clamps and the RF transmission lines.  We may 
be able to simply eliminate 1 or 2 reinforcement clamps in this area to eliminate the interference. 
 Action: Han Zhang to run the OTF leg analysis without the reinforcement to verify.

OTF Support Reinforcements (Khodak) (see VGs)
ANSYS models of the SS reinforcements and the insulation interfaces have been generated and 
meshed from the design models provided by Mark.
