description The numerical simulation of multiscale and multiphysics problems requires efficient tools for spatial localization and model reduction. A general strategy combining Domain Decomposition and Nonuniform Transformation Field Analysis (NTFA) is proposed herein for the simulation of nuclear fuel assemblies at the scale of a full nuclear reactor. The model at subdomain level solves the full elastic problem but with a reduced nonlinear loading, based on simplified boundary conditions, reduced creep flow rules, projected sign preserving contact conditions, and a NTFA like reduced friction law to get the evolution of each slipping mode. With this loading reduction, the local solution can be explicitly obtained from a small set of precomputed elementary elastic solutions. The numerical tests indicate that considerable cost reduction (a factor of 50 to 1000) can be achieved while preserving engineering accuracy.
