SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on coupling WIMS and CITATION as neutronic codes with PARET as a thermalhydraulic code. Key insights include the necessity of ensuring proper input-output (I/O) compatibility between the codes, especially when dealing with time-dependent and steady-state simulations. A reference to a similar coupling experience with COBRA is provided, highlighting the relevance of existing resources in this area. Participants are encouraged to seek papers and tips on effective code integration.
