The French National Institute for Nuclear Safety and Protection uses Open CASCADE for modeling extremely precise 3D environments
Paris - September 15, 2000 - The Moret Graphic Editor developed by the Institut de Protection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IPSN) is now in industrial use. This application is based on Open CASCADE open source modeling components and calculates extremely precise 3D environments in which the IPSN simulates neutron behavior and neutron interaction within matter to determine the effective multiplication factor characterizing the criticality of fissile media. The Open CASCADE team at Matra Datavision ensured both the original development and its evolution, as well as porting on Windows NT and Ilog Views 2.1.
