Description
The design of China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) involves complex system structure and intricate constrains, and the design work will be performed by a great number of geographically distributed groups. To support the design work consistently and effectively, the CFETR Integration Design Platform (CIDP) is being developed [IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 45 (2017) 512; Fusion Eng. Des. 123 (2017) 87]. Based on an advanced GPU-based design cloud, all designers can work on the CIDP through remote connection to the virtual desktops, meanwhile the data are centralized on CIDP. Three systems, i.e., Data Management System (DMS), Task Management System (TMS) and Integrated Design Framework (IDF), are developed to manage the massive design data, coordinate the design work and provide the design environment. In DMS, the CAD data, together with the documents including design requirements, CAE data, design reports and other critical data, are managed according to the tree structure of plant breakdown structure (PBS). Design change, version control and distribution of the latest design data can be implement efficiently in this system. TMS manages the design tasks for specified purpose generated by top-down decomposition of design requirements. The tasks or sub-tasks can be easily allocated in a tree structure and the designers can be assigned. The approved design data are then linked to and managed in DMS. Besides the management functions, it is also important to provide the unified environment for implementation of detailed design work by IDF. Two sub-framework for physical and engineering design are integrated via a unified graphic user interface, in which modular structure is developed for the physics and component design. The detail contents will be presented in this conference.
