Integration of a digital twin to support design and safety studies for the XAMR®

PLM deployment of the 3D EXPERIENCE​

• Administration of the 3DX platform to support reactor design studies
• Exploration and configuration of applications to meet business needs

Supervision of systems engineering methods​

• Advising and supporting the choice of systems engineering methods to be implemented on the programme​
• Monitoring the work, providing local support for systems engineers and checking compliance with the chosen methods

Reinforcing safety ​

• Providing expertise to the Safety and Security Department to prepare for meetings with the Nuclear Safety Authority​
• A team integrated into the project management's safety team to carry out preliminary risk and aggression analyses, and to manage and support systems for FMEAs*.

Carrying out studies for the test centre​

• Production of a sketch of the building to house the prototype reactor​
• Proposal for the preliminary design of the prototype reactor building​
• Preliminary design studies: ventilation (nuclear), ILVS(S)/HVS**, fluids, mechanics and processes)​

Reinforcing ISS*** and PMO**** capabilities

*FMEA: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis​
**ILVS(S)/HVS :  Industrial Low-Voltage Systems (Security) / High-Voltage Systems ​
***ISS: Information Systems Security ​
****PMO: Project Management Office​

• Centralised product design with the deployment of a digital twin, providing descriptive modelling capabilities (functional, 3D), traceability between project data and simulation ​
• Strengthened customer teams with expertise in the nuclear sector (design, safety) and systems engineering​
• Optimised design times and more reliable studies due to the deployment of systems engineering methods​
