Summary form only given. The ZETA-code is developed for the complete simulation of 2-D multicharged ion plasma magneto-hydrodynamics and radiation. The code consists of three main parts: preprocessor, core processor, and postprocessor. The code ZRMHD is a core processor of the ZETA-code. It is designed to perform simulations of 2-D axially symmetrical magnetohydrodynamic flows of radiative plasma. The module AERG is introduced into ZRMHD for multigroup radiation transport calculations in the semi-analytical self consistent model. The ZRMHD uses as a rule tables for EOS, opacities, emissivities and plasma electron transport coefficients prepared by THERMOS pre-processor of the ZETA-code.
