3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

SABRINA is an interactive, three-dimensional, geometry-modeling code system, primarily for use with CCC-200/MCNP. SABRINA's capabilities include creation, visualization, and verification of three-dimensional geometries specified by either surface- or body-base combinatorial geometry; display of particle tracks are calculated by MCNP; and volume fraction generation.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Rendering is performed by ray tracing or an edge and intersection algorithm. Volume fraction calculations are made by ray tracing.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM: A graphics display with X Window capability is required.

[ top ]

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

The time is dependent on the complexity of the geometry model, resolution, and the size of the display window. Most of the standard SABRINA examples take from a few seconds to few minutes.
