Abstract

The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory has developed a number of nuclear plant analysis codes such as RELAP5-3D [1], SCDAP/RELAP5-3D [2], and FLUENT/RELAP5-3D [3] that have multi-dimensional modeling capability. The output of these codes is very difficult to analyze without the aid of visualization tools. The RELAP5-3D Graphical User Interface (RGUI) [4, 5] displays these calculations on plant images, functional diagrams, graphs, and by other means. These representations of the data enhance the analysts' ability to recognize plant behavior visually and reduce the difficulty of analyzing complex three-dimensional models. This paper describes the Graphical User Interface system for the RELAP5-3D suite of Best Estimate codes. The uses of the Graphical User Interface are illustrated. Examples of user problems solved by use of this interface are given.
