Energy is a matter of economic security and national security. Research into fusion-fission hybrid reactors began in the 1950s with the original idea of using fusion neutrons to multiply fissionable nuclides (239 Pu, 233 U) from fissionable nuclides (238 U, 232 Th) and to amplify the fusion energy output in the process. The Z-FFR (Z-Pinch driven fusion fission hybrid reactor) contains two physical processes, fusion and fission, and is inherently complex in structure. The Z-FFR requires a larger number of disciplines and software platforms for its physical design. The original overall physical design was split between modules and confusing software choices, thus making it difficult to couple the Z-FFR in its overall design. The architecture design platform for multi-user massively parallel development conducts research on product integration and parallel development of architecture design software platforms to solve the integration of products from different software platforms and collaborative design of architecture design software. This will solve the coupling and linking between different physical processes and different design software in the design process of Z-FFR, and achieve the overall design optimal solution.
