The Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Workbench is a Graphical User Interface and analysis sequence processor that will facilitate the transition from conventional tools to high-fidelity tools by providing a common user interface for model creation, review, execution, output review, and visualization for integrated codes. The Workbench can provide a common user input, including engineering-scale specifications that are expanded into code-specific input requirements through the use of customizable templates. The templating process enables multi-fidelity analysis of a system from a common set of input data.
