VIMSCAN - Visual Modeling Software for Assembling Nodalization Networks of Thermalhydraulics Analysis Codes

Abstract

Described in this paper is VIMSCAN, a general software used to assemble nodalization network diagrams in graphic mode and to generate corresponding input data files for thermal hydraulics analysis codes such as CATHENA and RELAP5. VIMSCAN provides analysts with powerful nodalization network and data management environments by employing database and visually graphical modeling technologies.
