Reactor Simulation Editor, Introduction with Examples



What is it?

The Reactor Simulation Editor (rsedit) is a software package designed to solve finite difference equations in a simplified way. The tool kit includes: Extra attention has been given to the management of constants. Neutron diffusion simulations require large tables of data which can be difficult to manage without some assistance. Rsedit attempts to fill this role.

Rsedit runs under either Solaris or Linux. Ncurses is used for the main input interface, output is rendered on the web through a custom HTML library.

This project is still under development, although these pages are dated, the interface and I/O in the current version is still simlar. Development work has focused on equation preprocessing (now done by MAPLE), and solver efficiency, PETSC is now used as the default solver. If you are interested in discussing nuclear simulations, or ideas about simulation software I'd be happy to hear from you.
