            Abstract : 
Thermal and electrical shocks are the main causes for the anode cracking, which results in severe cell disturbance and higher net carbon consumption. A parametrical finite element analysis (FEA) model is developed to simulate the thermal distribution of an anode after setting. The actual temperature and voltage drop of the anode was measured in industrial cell. The temperature and voltage drop of the anode were analyzed.
