Neutronic and Computational Fluid Dynamics – FRAMATOME Learning Machine (FLEMNE)

Main description

Save massive calculation time and ensure competitive edge in the future. More and more analyses, design studies and development are based on calculations and modelization, as processing power is increasing dramatically. Nevertheless, these analyses can require a lot of computational power and time, which make their use in the frame of industrial projects difficult. Framatome neutronic and CFD metamodels innovative software have proved to save a lot of calculation time and will ensure some competitive edge in the future. FLEMNE is a knowledge database and metamodel automatic building algorithm, which enables to build knowledge database before crisis arises. It then enables to perform instantaneous computations, enabling optimization or uncertainty quantifications. Industrial applications include for instance fatigue analysis (reduced usage factor on the basis of finer transient description possible) or fast fracture analysis (uncertainty assessment on the basis of 10000 draws.
