Case Study: Culham Centre for Fusion Energy visualises nuclear fusion reactor data more easily with Software Sustainability Institute
A Software Sustainability Institute Case Study
Culham Centre for Fusion Energy speeds reactor visualisation with Software Sustainability Institute in 3 fixes
The Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) faced challenges with its nuclear fusion reactor visualization software, which was difficult to install, required time-consuming data conversion, and made generating movies a lengthy process. The Software Sustainability Institute was engaged to help optimize this critical research tool.
The Software Sustainability Institute developed a custom plug-in to read reactor data directly, eliminating conversion needs and speeding up visualization. They provided step-by-step installation documentation and created a program to automate movie generation. This solution gave researchers greater insight into fusion physics, made the software easier to install and use, and significantly streamlined the process of creating visualizations.
