RSIC COMPUTER CODE PSR-076

1. NAME AND TITLE

EURCYL: Finite Element Three-Dimensional Mesh Generator for Cylinder -- Cylinder Intersections.

2. CONTRIBUTOR

EURATOM -- Joint Nuclear Research Center, Ispra Establishment, Italy, through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency's Computer Program Library.

3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER

Fortran IV; IBM 370.

4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED

EURCYL produces punched cards for finite element analysis of cylinder-cylinder intersections. It is particularly suited for generating a mesh for thick-walled vessel-nozzle junctions, including local reinforcement and transition radii at the intersection.

5. METHOD OF SOLUTION

In the general geometry of 1/4 of the cylinder-cylinder intersection as dealt with by EURCYL, three regions are recognized: nozzle zone, transition zone, vessel zone.

6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS

None noted.

7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

No study has been made by RSIC of typical running times for EURCYL.

8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

EURCYL is operable on the IBM 370 computers.

9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

A Fortran IV compiler is required.

11. CONTENTS OF CODE PACKAGE

Included are the referenced document and one (1.2MB) DOS diskette which contains the source code and sample problem input and output.

12. DATE OF ABSTRACT
