Status of PyGriffin Development for Integration into the NEAMS Workbench

“…The Workbench provides a common user interface for model creation, real-time validation, execution, output processing, and visualization for integrated codes. The integration of the Argonne Reactor Computation (ARC) suite of codes [3] into the NEAMS Workbench and called PyARC was initiated in FY-2017 [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. In FY-2022, the NEAMS program initiated the development of PyGriffin, meant to serve as a wrapper to the Griffin code [9] and provide an interface that can be integrated with the PyARC workflow or used for standalone analysis.…”

“…The NEAMS program initiated development of PyGriffin in FY-2022 with the objective to streamline Griffin workflow to facilitate and improve user experience by leveraging the Workbench user interface [8]. PyGriffin is still under active development and some key features need to be developed for useful application (especially outside of PyARC).…”
