RAPTURE User's Manual

Abstract

This User's Guide serves as a brief introduction to the RAPTURE radiation effects analysis code. It includes an overview of the input format, RAPTURE's error- and consistency-checking of the user-provided input files, the automatic-differentiation and convergce-checking schemes employed by RAPTURE, and the RAPTURE output files. A variety of example problems are included in this Guide which collectively demonstrate RAPTURE's current capabilities and provide a suite of test problems and template input files for the user. This Guide includes, for each problem, the problem description, RAPTURE input files, and comparison of the RAPTURE solution with solutiong generated with the Monte Carlo transport code ITS, the legacy deterministic code ADEPT, and, where possible, published experimental results. An appendix includes a description of all keywords and options in the RAPTURE input file.
