Abstract

The Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) allows modelers to create models by using Boolean operations to combine different types of basic solids. CSG has been adopted by lots of numerical simulation codes as geometric description. In the research of reactor numerical simulation, Monte Carlo (MC) is a common method for neutronics analysis, which needs to calculate the intersections between the random flight paths of neutrons and the geometry. A lot of widely used MC codes (such as Geant4, MCNP) use CSG to describe geometry. The prerequisite to run MC code is to do geometric modeling, which however in many MC codes, is finished by manually writing text files, it is very hard to view the model and it is inefficient to build. In this work, a MC modeling tool (JLAMT) based on UG software is used to build the benchmark model. The tool supplies geometric modeling functions, physical parameter setting functions, and other assistant tools. With a flexible GUI, it helps users to achieve quick modeling.
