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

Check 3D box

Select input file

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
