RFLP Approach to DTT Divertor Fixation System Design Using the 3DExperience Platform

The Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems lead the development of a product or a system from the early concept design until the end of the life allowing the knowledge management step by step. Among these systems, the 3DExperience platform adopts a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach and allows to implement each phase of the design in a single co-simulation environment. This platform has been chosen for the development of the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility. The DTT tokamak, under construction at ENEA site in Frascati, has the main aim to contribute to the development of a reliable solution for power exhaust in a reactor, one of the major issues in the roadmap towards the realization of a nuclear fusion power plant. The divertor is one of the most challenging systems whose requirements coming from different physics and interfaces shall be balanced. The fixation system is the interface between the vacuum vessel and the divertor cassette body whose concept design has been carried out in a PLM system. This paper deals specifically with the application of the Requirement, Functional, Logical, Physical (RFLP) approach to the DTT divertor fixation system from the requirement elicitation and definition until the preliminary physical design, implementing each phase in the 3DExperience platform.
