Following the installation of modules, cables and other equipment into the DO central cryostat (CC cryostat) the small clearance between the cryostat head and internal equipment caused concern that the head would make contact with the equipment when the cryostat was put under vacuum for leak checking. This finite element analysis was requested by George Mulholland to determine the amount of deflection in the head due to vacuum loads
