SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the conversion of the WIMS (Wolverhampton Integrated Management System) source code from Fortran to Object-Oriented C++. Participants mention that the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has successfully completed such a conversion. Other organizations like BNFL and BEGL may also have relevant implementations. The conversation highlights that WIMS-D is not widely used compared to proprietary systems and suggests searching for additional resources through Google using keywords like "WIMS-D" and "C++".

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Object-Oriented Programming in C++
  • Familiarity with Fortran programming language
  • Knowledge of nuclear engineering software systems
  • Basic research skills for academic articles and online resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Investigate the WIMS-D conversion project at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC)
  • Explore proprietary nuclear engineering systems like CASMO and SIMULATE
  • Learn about the specifics of Object-Oriented design patterns in C++
  • Search for academic articles related to WIMS and its implementations
USEFUL FOR

Nuclear engineers, software developers in the nuclear sector, and researchers looking for C++ implementations of WIMS or similar systems will benefit from this discussion.

Hi there,
sometimes ago I was browsing a Nuclear Eng. Dept. website ( I can't remember what university) and ran into a project in which somebody had converted the WIMS source code from Fortran to Object Oriented C++.
Now I'm looking for a such conversion. Can anybody help me?

Try this link to a journal article.

Apparently the guys at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) have done it.

Otherwise BNFL or someone at BEGL may have done it as well. I don't think WIMS (WIMS-D) is widely used. The vendors have their own proprietary systems, otherwise folks use CASMO, which is part of Studsvik-Scandpower's CASMO/SIMULATE system.

It might be available through IAEA - www.nea.fr/abs/html/iaea1395.html

For additional possibilities, try searching Google with "WIMS-D","C++"

Good luck!
