\subsection{The \moc{SIM:} module}\label{sect:sim}

\vskip 0.2cm
The \moc{SIM:} module can perform a sequence of operations related to
fuel management in PWRs:
\begin{itemize}
\item simulate a refuelling and shuffling scheme and update the burnup distribution
accordingly. The refuelling scheme is specified directly in \moc{SIM:}.
\item increase the burnup using the power available in the \dusa{POWER} object
and compute the final instantaneous burnup of each assembly subdivision
\item modify a local parameter such as the Boron concentration in the coolant.
\end{itemize}

\noindent
The \moc{SIM:} module specification is:

\begin{DataStructure}{Structure \moc{SIM:}}\label{table:tsim}
\dusa{FMAP} $[$ \dusa{MLIB} $]$ \moc{:=} \moc{SIM:} \dusa{FMAP} $[$ \dusa{MLIB} $]~[$ \dusa{POWER} $]$ \\
\moc{::} \dstr{descsim}
\end{DataStructure}

\noindent where

\begin{ListeDeDescription}{mmmmmmmm}

\item[\dusa{FMAP}] \texttt{character*12} name of a \dds{fmap} object,
that will be updated by the \moc{SIM:} module. The \dusa{FMAP} object
must contain the instantaneous burnups for each assembly subdivision, a basic naval-coordinate
assembly layout and the weight of each assembly subdivision.

\item[\dusa{MLIB}] {\tt character*12} name of a {\sc microlib} (type {\tt L\_LIBRARY}) containing particularized isotope data. If this
object also appears on the RHS, it is open in modification mode and updated. Number densities of isotopes present in list \dusa{HISOT}
(see Sect.~\ref{sect:resinimain}) are recovered from a fuel cycle information directory of \dusa{FMAP} and saved in \dusa{MLIB} or
recovered from \dusa{MLIB} and saved in a fuel cycle information directory of \dusa{FMAP}.

\item[\dusa{POWER}] \texttt{character*12} name of a \dds{power} object
containing the channel and powers of the assembly subdivisions, previously computed by the
\moc{FLPOW:} module. The channel and powers of the assembly subdivisions are used by the
\moc{SIM:} module to compute the new burn-up of each assembly subdivision. If the powers
of the assembly subdivisions are previously specified with the module \moc{RESINI:}, you can burn
your core without a \dusa{POWER} object.

\item[\dstr{descsim}] structure describing the input data to the \moc{SIM:} module.
