RSICC CODE PACKAGE CCC-698
1. NAME AND TITLE
WIMS-ANL, Version 4.00: Deterministic Code System for Lattice Calculation.
2. CONTRIBUTOR
Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL.
3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER
Fortran 77; Unix Sun and PC (Windows 95, 98, NT and Linux) (C00698MNYCP00).
4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED
The WIMS-ANL code is an extension of the Winfrith WIMS-D4 code for lattice
cell computations. This code has been tailored to address some of the problem
areas encountered in dealing with research reactor fuels, experiment, reflector
and control regions. The SUPERCELL option eliminates some of the limitations of
the traditional SPECTROX solution and supports the solution of more complex
geometries with a more detailed spatial mesh and multiple resonance materials.
The code generates both macroscopic and microscopic cross sections in the ISOTXS
format with any selected number of energy groups. The user can specify which
fission product isotopes are to be explicitly included in the microscopic burnup
dependent ISOTXS library. Fission product library data can be generated for use
with the MCNP code and burnup dependent applications. The cross section library
data provided are based on ENDF/B version VI (69 group) and V (69 and 172 group)
data. A revised 172 group library based on ENDF/B-VI is being generated with
newer data and additional isotopes. This library will be made available at a
later time. The code is variably dimensioned so that other group structures
could be used. The source code and output format have been completely revised to
reflect current coding practices and to permit display of the results on typical
desk top monitors. The content of the output displayed is completely under the
user's control.
5. METHOD OF SOLUTION
The methods of solution in WIMS-ANL remain unchanged from those used in the
original WIMS-D4 code with the same resonance treatment and a choice of
collision probability and DSN solutions for the simple lattice cell. The
SUPERCELL option provides for the selection of supporting auxiliary cells that
might represent the various different elements and varying spectra of the final
SUPERCELL model. The resonance treatments where applicable are carried out in
the auxiliary cells. These data are combined in the detailed SUPERCELL
computation, and cross section data are generated for the selected edit regions
and isotopes.
6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS
While the code is variably dimensioned, there are certain limits placed on
some of the variables are the fixed container size. The maximum number of
isotopes in the cross section library is set at 175, the maximum number of
isotope entries on the ISOTXS file is set at 6000 (combined isotopes x burn
steps), and the current container size is set at 6,000,000 words. These limits
can be changed at compile time by modifying the Standard.inc and Iq.inc include
files.
7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME
Run times vary with the size and complexity of the problem.
8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
WIMS-ANL runs on Unix under Sun Solaris and on PC under either Windows 95,
98, NT or Linux. The code, with only minor changes for the system calls for
time/date information, would be expected to run under any of the flavors of
Unix.
9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
The code has compiled successfully n Sun Solaris and on PC with the Lahey
compilers F77L, LF90 and LF95 for PC and the g77 and GNU compilers under Reed
Hat Linux 6.1.
