'CAWP' as CAE system for structural design

A CAE system called ''CAWP'' was developed for purposes of rationalization and quality improvement of structural design in nuclear power plant. CAWP system works through stress analysis including FEM modeling, FEM calculation, structural evaluation and reporting, and consists of 5 fully interconnected subsystem modules. They are the preprocess graphic module for modeling, check and run module for calculation, postprocess module for evaluation, postprocess graphic module, and stock and control module for data processing. By this computerization, costs and periods of time which are needed for stress analysis are reduced. Furthermore, the quality assurance of stress analysis is sustained by cautious procedures to keep the analytical data of this system consistent and traceable. (author)
