“…Such approach ensures the coherence between the input data models of the solvers of different disciplines and scale. ''Invertor'' can reconstruct CAD models or facet models from simulation models for observing and modifying models by 3D visualization Li et al, 2007;Zeng et al, 2006;Hu et al, 2007). Besides CAD geometry, CT, MRI, segmented images and other scan data can be converted for human body dose assessment in radiation shielding or medical physics (Cheng et al, 2011).…”

a b s t r a c tMonte Carlo (MC) method has distinct advantages to simulate complicated nuclear systems and is envisioned as a routine method for nuclear design and analysis in the future. High-fidelity simulation with MC method coupled with multi-physics phenomena simulation has significant impact on safety, economy and sustainability of nuclear systems. However, great challenges to current MC methods and codes prevent its application in real engineering projects. SuperMC, developed by the FDS Team in China, is a CAD-based Monte Carlo program for integrated simulation of nuclear systems by making use of hybrid MC and deterministic methods and advanced computer technologies. The design objective, architecture and main methodology of SuperMC are presented in this paper. SuperMC2.1, the latest version, can perform neutron, photon and coupled neutron and photon transport calculation, geometry and physics modeling, results and process visualization. It has been developed and verified by using a series of benchmarking cases such as the fusion reactor ITER model and the fast reactor BN-600 model. SuperMC is still in its evolution process toward a general and routine tool for the simulation of nuclear systems.

“…Analytical modeling of complex system is tedious and error-prone (Wu and FDS Team, 2009a;Song et al, 2014). Consequently, many mature CAD-based MC modeling tools are developed to generate MC calculation models, which is actually a Boundary Representation (BREP) to Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) conversion (Li et al, 2007), because many Monte Carlo codes (Forrest, 2005) uses CSG as their geometry representation system.…”

“…However, a bi-directional conversion interface program is needed to enhance the Monte Carlo modeling of nuclear devices with complex geometry. 3) MCAM [4][5][6][7] (Monte Carlo Automatic Modeling Program for Particle Transport Simulation) was developed by FDS Team, China, as a bi-directional interface program between general commercial CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems and MC particle transport codes. On one hand, the engineering model created by CAD systems can be converted into the input geometry suitable for the MC codes conveniently and rapidly.…”

MCAM (Monte Carlo Automatic Modeling program for particle transport simulation) was developed by FDS Team as a bi-directional interface program between general CAD systems and Monte Carlo particle transport simulation codes. The physics and material modeling and void space modeling functions were improved and the free-form surfaces processing function was developed recently. The applications to the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) building model and FFHR (Force Free Helical Reactor) model have demonstrated the feasibility, effectiveness and maturity of MCAM latest version for nuclear applications with complex geometry.
