N2 - The mission of the US Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Program is to develop, apply, deploy, and support state-of-the-art predictive modeling and simulation tools for the design and analysis of current and future nuclear energy systems. This is accomplished using computing architectures that range from laptops to leadership class facilities. The NEAMS Workbench [1,2,3] initiative will facilitate the transition from conventional computer codes to high-fidelity ones by providing a common analysis environment and interface for model creation, review, execution, output review, and visualization for integrated codes. The BISON fuel performance code [4] is a finite element method (FEM)-based software being developed by multiple organizations led by the Idaho National Laboratory for the US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy. BISON can simulate a variety of fuel and cladding compositions and geometries in varying dimensionalities, depending upon the problem type and complexity, including one-dimensional (1D), 1.5D, 2D axially symmetric (2D-rz), 2D radial-azimuthal (2D-rθ), or 3D models. The NEAMS Workbench allows execution of the BISON fuel performance code on local and remote compute resources. In this report, the detailed instructions of configuring the NEAMS Workbench for remote execution of the BISON fuel performance code on a portable batch system (PBS)-scheduled compute resource, as well the transfer of associated Bison files, is illustrated.
