Abstract
The LCT project aims to refurbish the CSO telescope, move it from Maunakea to Chajnantor, in Chile, and operate it scientifically for 10 years. The relocation of the telescope involves a variety of changes in the working conditions, which demands in-depth mechanical analysis. To conduct the required studies, an FEM model of the entire telescope has been developed, together with CFD tools. This paper introduces the LCT project, presents the full-FEM model, its validation, and the first steps towards these analyses. Preliminary results of the simulations of the telescope, considering the working conditions at the Plateau, are also shown.
