Within the scope of the FAIR project (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) at GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany, the front end of the existing High Charge State Injector (HLI) is upgraded for cw operation. The dedicated new 4-Rod RFQ structure is currently being designed at the Institute for Applied Physics (IAP) of the Goethe University of Frankfurt. The overall design is based on the RFQ structures that were originally developed for FRANZ* and MYRRHA**. Regarding the HLI-RFQ the comparatively low operating frequency of 108 MHz causes a general susceptibility towards mechanical vibrations especially concerning the electrodes because of the necessarily larger distance between the stems. Besides RF simulations and basic thermal simulations with CST Studio Suite, the key issues like mechanical electrode oscillations as well as temperature distribution from heat loss in cw operation are investigated with simulations using ANSYS Workbench. At first instance a dedicated 6-stem prototype is currently being manufactured in order to validate the simulated RF performance, thermal behavior and structural mechanical characteristics.
