I'm studying the PARET but can't find the original manual or any primer/course/lecture on the internet. I have only been able to find the PARET/ANL user guide which is not very useful because I need something more detailed with input examples, etc.
I found this input example on the internet,
http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML0929/ML092930278.pdf
find another example on page 177 of the following document
http://repository.tamu.edu/bitstream/handle/1969.1/4347/etd-tamu-2006B-NUEN-Candali.pdf?sequence=1
Herewith another input example on page 93:

this one contains the best description of iput PARET code:

Thank you sir. I'll take a look and I'll let you know whether was useful or not to me.
Hey, do you have experience using PARET? I'm starting using it but now, I just need to get the TH margins. I'm not interested in safety analysis. Thus, I was wondering whether you could give me some advices about the input or any other idea about how is the easiest way to do that. I'm only interested right now in a single-channel analysis to see whether the TH margins are being satisfied or not.
Thanks
Basically, summing up, I want to find the temperature profile throughout the channel and fuel element as well as the TH margins. My core is still clean and I'll proceed with the burnup after checking the TH margins and inicial temperature profiles.
for example you can start by one existing example of PARET input files then change parameters to characterise your problem.
if you have some problems to understand the signification of some parameters send me the line number and parameter code and I will tell you how to get this parameter
Yes, It's exactly what I am doing. I'll come up with more questions soon. Thanks.
Hey Boulaich, if I'm interested only in the steady state now, with no transient, I can jump, or put the value equal to 0, (in) cards that are related to transients? For example, cards like 1113, related with control blades movements? And the other point is that sometimes the input info presented in some thesis doesn't mach the PARET manual correct position making me a little confused. I'd appreciate if you could drop a line about it.
Normally, you have to use 0 for card 1006 (w1: transient time in seconds), which is the total time over which it is desired to investigate the transient. If zero is entered, only a study-state computation is completed.
in this case even if you entered a value different to 0 in card 1113 only study-state will be considered
What does PARET consider as the Core-Average Thermal Flux? My question is whether is the average value in the entire core (Fuel elements+reflectors) or the average only considering the Fuel elements.
For PARET code, the Core-Average Thermal Flux means the average value considering only fuel elements.
