ADVANCED GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACES USED WITH RELAP RELAP Utilities Integrated GUIs 3D orthographic display Quick plot option ((RELAP/SCDAPSIM only) Advanced GUIs ViSA RELSIM Advanced plant simulation and training packages PST AASATs
RELAP5 utilities used as GUI interfaces RELAP – graphical user interface for RELAP/SCDAPSIM Digitize – Incorporate experimental or plant data into input models Strip_to_??? – Converts strip files to EXCEL or TECPLOT for advanced plotting Plotrod – Interface to TECPLOT for 3D images of representative bundle behavior
RELAP5 GUI simplifies running problems Select input file Check 3D box Check for “NEW” runs
DIGITIZE allows you to incorporate experimental or plant data into your input Digitize curves
CONVERT-TO-EXCEL Converts RELAP5 results for EXCEL
CONVERT-TO-TECPLOT Converts RELAP5 results for TECPLOT
Interfaces to TECPLOT can be used to generate 2D/3D plots
PLOTROD converts SCDAP/RELAP data for 3D plots in TECPLOT
INTEGRATED 3D DISPLAY HELPS QA INPUT AND PROVIDES INTERACTIVE CONTROL
INTEGRATED 3D DISPLAY HELPS QA INPUT AND PROVIDES INTERACTIVE CONTROL 3D display of hydro nodalization (automatically generated from input) scaling, rotation, translation via keyboard Time dependent display of all hydro variables view all TH volume data watch select parameters Debugging and execution control pause, run, quit interactive control logic
Data can be easily displayed and monitored during the run
Lower plenum data can be easily displayed and monitored (RELAP/SCDAPSIM Only)
INTEGRATED QUICK PLOT OPTION (RELAP/SCDAPSIM ONLY)
ViSA offers new options for RELAP input and GUIs Visual Systems Analysis (ViSA) a user-friendly computing environment for RELAP systems codes developed by KAERI: User-friendly input maintenance Users can interactively review and modify geometric inputs in dialog box Control input editor enables easy and interactive review and modification of complicated control system inputs Clear understanding of the calculation results. Users designs plant mimic by drag-and-drop from provided indicators Nodalization window allows to examine the transient temperature, void and boron distributions Trend graphs for specific parameters are displayed at user’s requests Interactive control capability enables users to simulate operator actions.
AASATs and PST provide simulation GUI for multiple desktop student and instructor training environment
Interactive graphics displays are built and designed for individual plant
Predefined colored displays can be accessed by user
Simulation can be controlled using switches on control panel using touch screen monitors
