3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION - ASNBILD creates the job control and data input decks immediately ready for use in the code ANISN.
Its use avoids much of the time-consuming input creation necessary when running ANISN.


4. METHOD OF SOLUTION - ASNBILD performs two functions: 
a. It searches the input deck to determine the nuclides required for the job, and creates CDC job control cards for ANISN as required.
b. It creates the two data decks normally typed by the user in fixed format. (The first data deck contains the title, 15$ and 16* arrays and the 14* card, and the second data deck contains a T, the 1*, 3*, 4*, 6*, 7*, 8$, 9$, 10$, 11$ and 12* arrays.)
The cross section file is created by the ANISN job control deck, choosing nuclides by using the COPYBR command, thus avoiding loading the whole of the data library for every run.
ASNBILD also creates the file JANISN (CDC job control for ANISN) which will contain the relevant COPYBR commands, and nuclides will be automatically chosen ready for the ANISN job.
Using ASNBILD allows commands (which may appear anywhere in the in- put deck) such as:
-  STEEL FROM 10.0 TO 15.0 STEP 1.0 
-  STEEL 10.0 15.0 1.0 
Mixing of elements may be defined by weight, volume or molecule. 
Materials as well as elements may be mixed. 
ASNBLD optimises the mixing table length by overwriting old cross section sets when possible.


5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM - The present version of the code uses the DLC23E data set which contains 29 elements and 40 energy groups. Certain arrays have these fixed dimensions but may be easily re-dimensioned.


6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME - 9 seconds on CDC 7600 for the test case. 


7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM - 


8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS - ASNBILD uses the Electrowatt FREEF suite of routines written in Fortran, which may be loaded with computer codes to enable a free format reading capability. FREEF has the capability of reading alphanumeric data in the form of full English sentences, and of reading mixed integer and real numbers.
It also allows "implied do-loops" in the data.

NEA-0661/01: FORTRAN-IV 


13. OPERATING SYSTEM UNDER WHICH PROGRAM IS EXECUTED - The program is written in Fortran on the LUCS APEX System.
SCOPE 2.1 (CDC 7600). 


14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS - 
A short User Subroutine must be compiled and loaded with ASNBILD to define BLANK COMMON requirements.
