An integration design platform is under development for the design of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR). It mainly includes the integration physical design platform and the integration engineering design platform. The integration engineering design platform aims at performing detailed engineering design for each tokamak component (e.g., breeding blanket, divertor, and vacuum vessel). The vacuum vessel design and analysis module is a part of the integration engineering design platform. The main idea of this module is to integrate the popular CAD/CAE software to form a consistent development environment. Specifically, the software OPTIMUS provides the approach to integrate the CAD/CAE software such as CATIA and ANSYS and form a design/analysis workflow for the vacuum vessel module. This design/analysis workflow could automate the process of modeling and finite element (FE) analysis for vacuum vessel. Functions such as sensitivity analysis and optimization of geometric parameters have been provided based on the design/analysis workflow. In addition, data from the model and FE analysis could be easily exchanged among different modules by providing a unifying data structure to maintain the consistency of the global design. This paper describes the strategy and methodology of the workflow in the vacuum vessel module. An example is given as a test of the workflow and functions of the vacuum vessel module. The results indicate that the module is a feasible framework for future application.
As we all know the nuclear energy is becoming more and more important in our current life, as well in the future. Considering the radiation protection, nuclear safety, security, fusion attracts more and more view of scientists compared with fission. International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is the world’s biggest energy research project, aiming to prove the feasibility of fusion power as a possible source of safe, sustainable and abundant energy. China together with EU, India, Japan, the Russian Federation, South Korea and the USA are working together on this major research facility. It is an example of international scientific collaboration on an unprecedented scale that will provide the link between plasma physics and engineering and future commercial fusion-based power plants. ITER design and construction have resulted in new issue that how the seven members collaborate all over the earth. So the Document Management has become the indispensable part. This article according to the document management of ITER, as we all know, the IDM system analysis the key point of scan and search, document operating, security settings, process controlling and other information.
In order to progress the document management of major scientific project of fusion for China, for example the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR), the first step we should learn from IDM of ITER. Then try to solve the current problem of IDM, such as the response speed, operating difficulty and so on.
This paper gives a conceptual design solution for the document management system of major scientific projection like CFETR including document storage, document classification and nomenclature, access control, workflow and roles setting of the system.
