Develop a 2D & 3D GUI application allowing to define different kinds of fuel assembly geometries in addition to experimental nuclear reactor cores.
Mesh and assign physical properties to the models.
Export the models in APOLLO2-A, MCNP and TRIPOLI solvers formats.
Visualize the imported results of solids in colors and diagrams.

Solution
Development of pre- and post-processor applications based on Open CASCADE Technology and SUIT platform: "CHARM 2D" for 2D and "CHARM 3D" for 3D models design.
Development of a command line executable to ease the integration within the customer system-codes and the validation process.

Benefits
Speed up the creation of APOLLO2-A, MCNP and TRIPOLI files: automation of the process reduces the design time from months to hours.
Visualization of models during the design process. Now the end-user can display the resulting model at each step of the design phase, without running a calculation.
Visualization of solver results in different modes allowing comparison and analysis of results.
An increasing number of concerned end-users including AREVA NP, AREVA TA, EDF R&D, CEA.
