RELAP5/RELAP5-3D Plug-in

The RELAP5 plug-in was designed to supports multiple versions of RELAP5 including RELAP5/MOD3.3 and RELAP5-3D versions 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 4.0 and 4.3. This plug-in is available to SNAP User's Group (SUG) members.

The RELAP5-3D© code was developed for best-estimate transient simulation of light water reactor coolant systems during postulated accidents. The code models the coupled behavior of the reactor coolant system and the core for loss-of-coolant accidents and operational transients such as anticipated transient without scram, loss of offsite power, loss of feedwater, and loss of flow. A generic modeling approach is used that permits simulating a variety of thermal hydraulic systems. Control system and secondary system components are included to permit modeling of plant controls, turbines, condensers, and secondary feedwater systems.

The RELAP5 Plug-in User's Manual provides instructions for working with RELAP5 models in SNAP. This Manual is also available as a searchable help set in SNAP.

Change Log

Version 6.9.2 - Released 2/16/2024:

  • An issue has been resolved with hydro connections to 1D hydro components that did not preserve the target cell or target face when opening the editing dialog.
  • The control input arguments and trip input arguments dialog has been updated to resolve an issue that prevented pasting in references to signal variables.
  • The Model Notebook export was updated to write the multi-dim face names.
