Calculation of the thermal stress on target tiles for AUG and verification in GLADIS

Thermomechanical simulation of the new upper divertor tiles in AUG using ANSYS Workbench . Non-linear modelling was used, including contacts and material properties as a function of the temperature. After the completion of the analyses, benchmarking at GLADIS was performed to verify the behaviour. Finally, normal operation at AUG was modelled to assess the performance and resistance of the tile.
