SIMULATE-5

Steady-State Nodal Core Simulator

  • 3D, pin-by-pin power and exposure distributions
  • Microscopic depletion model with more than 50 explicit nuclides
  • Automatic submeshing for accuracy where you need it most
  • Advanced thermal-hydraulic models for both BWRs and PWRs

Other Information

We recommend at least a dual-core processor with 4GB of available memory for running SIMULATE-5.

To get the full benefit of running SIMULATE-5 in parallel mode, we recommend a quad-core 64-bit machine with at least 8 GB of memory.  OpenMP parallelization requires Intel or AMD processor with multiple cores.
