Abstract
An innovative computational tool (DAG-MCNP) has been developed for efficient and accurate 3-D nuclear analysis of geometrically complex fusion systems. Direct coupling with CAD models allows preserving the geometrical details, eliminating possible human error, and faster design iterations. DAG-MCNP has been applied to perform 3-D nuclear analysis for several fusion designs and demonstrated the ability to generate high-fidelity high-resolution results that significantly improve the design process. This tool will be the core for a full CAD-based simulation predictive capability that couples engineering analyses directly to the CAD solid model.
