AI Thread Summary
Coupling WIMS and CITATION as neutronic codes with PARET as a thermal-hydraulic code requires careful integration of outputs and inputs between the systems. Resources and papers on similar coupling projects, such as those involving COBRA, can provide valuable insights. It is crucial to ensure compatibility, especially when dealing with time-dependent and steady-state simulations. Understanding the input/output requirements of each code is essential for successful integration. Properly executed, this coupling can enhance core simulation accuracy and efficiency.

Hi there,
I'm going to couple WIMS & CITATION as neutronic codes with PARET as an thermalhydraulic code.
Please let me know if there is any resources, papers or tips and tricks to do so.

Thanks

Another member was doing something similar with COBRA.

There are various current programs to couple core simulation (neutronics) codes with advanced T/H or CFD codes. Basically one simply needs to appropriately couple the codes so the output of one is properly input to the other. This is particularly important if one uses time-dependencies while the other is steady-state.

I'm not familiar with the I/O of either code system.
 

Thread 'MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly'

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information（power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.） for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
