Introduction

If you are new to IPS-FASTRAN, see first Quick start guide for IPS-FASTRAN.

In this tutorial, we will use the TokDesigner base template tokdesigner.config or the IPS-FASTRAN base template fastran_scenario.config. A few modifications to these templates (basically turn on/off necessary components or change constraints/parameters) will be made at each step as needed.

Problem setup for quick start guide

CAT-like reactor

• R = 4 m, A = 3, 𝜅 = 2, 𝛿 = 0.6
• BT = 7 T, Ip = 8.1 MA
• P = 38 MW

Determine A in the range of 2.5 ~ 3.5 for P_net > 50 MW
