R3 design Progress report

3/7/08

Progress modeling the R3 drift chamber has been held back by both software and hardware problems. This past week we installed ANSYS on a faster computer ( 2 GHz Intel with 3Meg RAM) and were able to render the design in 30 minutes instead of 2 hours. The turnaround for debugging the geometrical design is now faster and the computer does not currently crash. We plan on doing the same test using a new computer (2 GHz Intel with 8 Meg RAM) once it has been assembled (2 weeks or less).

The image below represent the current Model which has been implemented in ANSYS.
