Real-time 3D Graphic Simulation of the Spent Fuel Rod Extraction Process for Remote Monitoring

摘要

In this paper, to enhance the reliability of this machine by providing a close monitoring capability, a real time graphic simulation method is suggested. This method utilizes the conventional IGRIP (Interactive Graphics Robot Instruction Program) 3D graphic simulation tool to visualize and simulate the 3D graphic model of this machine. Also, the dedicated protocol is defined for transmission of the operational data of the machine. The real time graphic simulation is realized by developing the socket module between a graphic workstation and a machine control computer through the TCP/IP network and by dividing the 3D graphic simulation GSL(Graphic Simulation Language) program as a small sized sub routine. The suggested method is implemented while automatically operating the rod extraction system. The result of implementation shows that the real time 3D graphic simulation is well synchronized with the actual machine according to the operational data.
