Abstract

The Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) is an open-source, finite element framework for solving highly coupled sets of nonlinear equations. The development of the framework and applications occurs concurrently using an agile, continuous-integration software package. Included in the framework is an in-code, extensible documentation system. Using these two tools in union with the repository management tools GitHub and GitLab, a software quality plan was created and followed such that MOOSE and a MOOSE-based application (BISON) have been shown to meet the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Nuclear Quality Assurance-1 standard. The approach relies heavily on automation for both testing and documentation. The resulting effort demonstrates that a rigorous software quality plan may be implemented that incurs a minimal impact on day-to-day development of the software, satisfying the stringent guidelines necessary to operate the software in a safety function within a nuclear facility.

摘要

面向对象的多物理场仿真环境（MOOSE）是一个开放源代码的有限元框架，用于求解高度耦合的非线性方程组。框架和应用程序的开发使用敏捷的，连续集成的软件包同时进行。该框架中包含一个可编码的可扩展文档系统。通过将这两个工具与存储库管理工具GitHub和GitLab结合使用，创建并遵循了软件质量计划，从而证明MOOSE和基于MOOSE的应用程序（BISON）符合美国机械工程师学会的核质量保证-1标准。该方法在很大程度上依赖于自动化进行测试和记录。
