• •An input-file preparation tool for fuel rod performance codes is developed•The new tool can be used for benchmarks of fuel rod performance codes•The new tool can condense irradiation histories, synchronise and merge signals•The new toolbox for fuel rod analysis has a graphical user interface•The new toolbox for fuel rod analysis is available for free This paper gives an overview of the new ‘Fuel Rod Analysis Toolbox’, which is a program for the pre-processing of input data for fuel rod performance codes with a graphical user interface. It consists of three different modules that can handle several tasks such as data condensation, merging and synchronization. The ‘Fuel Rod Analysis Toolbox’ helps:•to reduce the amount of input data,•to simplify the setup of input files for complex data sets with input from experimental data as well as input resulting from neutronics or thermo-hydraulics codes, and•to reduce computation time. These advantages are already evident for complex fuel rod analyses employing a conventional one-and-a-half-dimensional code but they become even more important for two- or three-dimensional approaches.
