Last year, a first version of the workflow coupling a free boundary equilibrium code, the European transport solver ETS and a plasma shape and position controller had been developped. In 2015, this new tool has been tested and improved. An experiment realized on the Tokamak TCV and called "yoyo" shot has been successfully simulated. This work has been realised in the framework of the Eurofusion Work Package: Code Development for integrated modelling project.
