ViSA offers new options for RELAP input and GUIs

• Visual Systems Analysis (ViSA) a user-friendly
  computing environment for RELAP systems codes
  developed by KAERI
• User-friendly input maintenance
• Users can interactively review and modify
  geometric inputs in dialog box
• Control input editor enables easy and interactive
  review and modification of complicated control
  system inputs
• Clear understanding of the calculation results.
• Users designs plant mimic by drag-and-drop from
  provided indicators
• Nodalization window allows to examine the
  transient temperature, void and boron
  distributions
• Trend graphs for specific parameters are
  displayed at users requests
• Interactive control capability enables users to
  simulate operator actions.

AASATs and PST provide simulation GUI for
multiple desktop student and instructor training
environment
16
Interactive graphics displays are built and
designed for individual plant
17
Predefined colored displays can be accessed by
user
18
Simulation can be controlled using switches on
control panel using touch screen monitors
