ANT-MOC Log

Package antmocdata.log contains tools for exploring ANT-MOC logs.

Examples

Please check the directory examples/log for live examples.

Each of the sample scripts accepts command line arguments.

python ./examples/log/extract-records.py --help

Log file

A log file of ANT-MOC contains many data fields. If a group of log files are provided to a LogDB object, these files will be serialized and stored as LogFile objects.

from antmocdata.log import Options, LogDB
options = Options()
# ...
# setup options eigher through CLI or direct assignments
# ...
logdb = LogDB()
logdb.setup(options)

Extractor

A log extractor is used to make LogDB queries and save the results to a .csv file. For example, to get log files with specific fields, one could write down

options["output"].value = "antmoc-records.csv"
options["specs"].value = ["Azims", "Polars"]
extractor = TinyExtractor(logdb)
extractor.extract()

This would list the Azims and Polars fields of all the log files and save the results to antmoc-records.csv.

In this case, Azims and Polars are called FieldSpec. A spec can be used to filter out results. For example,

# List Azims and Polars fields of all the logs
options["specs"].value = ["Azims", "Polars"]
# List Azims and Polars fields of all the logs, and
# only show logs with Azims=64 
options["specs"].value = ["Azims=64", "Polars"]
# List Azims and Polars fields of all the logs, and
# only show logs with Azims=64 and Polars>2
options["specs"].value = ["Azims=64", "Polars>2"]
extractor.extract()

A FieldSpec consists of three parts: field name, binary operator, and value. Perl regex is supported for the field name and the operator. For example, ".*Time" could match all the fields with an ending Time string.

The binary operator could be ==, <, <=, >, or >=. Operator == is for string comparison and perl regex is supported in this case. Inequality symbols are for string or numerical comparisons.

Be careful if you want to use inequality symbols on string fields. Values from these fields are compared through string comparison. Predefined field types are located in antmocdata.log.default_fields.json.

Fields

Predefined log fields are located in antmocdata.log.default_fields.json. If these fields are outdated due to ANT-MOC updates, please update this json file or load a new one in your scripts.

from antmocdata.log import fields
fields.load("path/to/your/fields.json")

There is also an add method for appending single field to the field dictionary.

from antmocdata.log import Field
fields.add(Field(name="NewField1", patterns=["NewField1.*"]))

# or adding the field directly to LogFields
from antmocdata.log import LogFields
LogFields().add(Field(name="NewField2", patterns=["NewField2.*"]))

Save log database

A LogDB object can be dumped as json files to a specific directory.

options["savedb"].value = "antmoc-logdb/"
# ...
# setup the LogDB object
# ...
logdb.save(options("savedb"))

ANT-MOC MGXS

Package antmocdata.mgxs contains tools for checking, manipulating, and generating MGXS files for ANT-MOC.

Examples

Please check the directory examples/mgxs for live examples.

Each of the sample scripts accepts command line arguments.

python ./examples/mgxs/h5/fix-materials.py --help
python ./examples/mgxs/xml/fix-materials-in-xml.py --help

HDF5 data layout

There are two layouts of material data in an H5 file. Materials are treated as data groups in both of the layouts.

In addition to materials, the H5 file must contain a top-level attribute named '# groups' for the number of energy groups.

Layout: named

This is the default cross-section data layout for ANT-MOC.

Cross-section arrays are stored in H5 datasets individually. In this layout, a group for a material consists of several datasets:

• absorption
• fission
• nu-fission
• transport, or total
• chi
• scatter matrix, or nu-scatter matrix, or consistent scatter matrix

For example, a simple cross-section file could have the following hierarchy

attribute  "# groups"
group      /
group      /material/MOX-8.7%
dataset    /material/MOX-8.7%/chi
dataset    /material/MOX-8.7%/fission
dataset    /material/MOX-8.7%/nu-fission
dataset    /material/MOX-8.7%/scatter matrix
dataset    /material/MOX-8.7%/total
group      /material/UO2
dataset    /material/UO2/chi
dataset    /material/UO2/fission
dataset    /material/UO2/nu-fission
dataset    /material/UO2/scatter matrix
dataset    /material/UO2/total

The scatter matrix is usually a flattened n-by-n matrix, where n is the number of energy groups. Elements in the scatter dataset respect the source-major order, which is much like the row-major order.

For example, a scatter matrix with 2 energy groups has 4 elements, which are stored as

1->1
1->2
2->1
2->2

The number before symbol -> is the source group, and the number after the symbol is the destination group.

Layout: compact/compressed

Common modules

• material: class Material representing cross-sections. A material object could be written to an HDF5 file as a dataset.
• materialxml: representation for the XML material definition, which is used to handle materials.xml.
• manip: data manipulation utilities.
• options: representation of command line options.

Type A

Package antmocdata.mgxs.type_a defines a generator which accepts two files to create an mgxs input for antmoc:

• infilecross: cross-sections in plain text.
• materials.xml: material definitions in XML, including nuclear densities.

Modules

• material: definition of MaterialTypeA, which is a sub-class of Material.
• nuclides: representations of nuclides and nuclide sets, which are basically defined in a plain text file called "infilecross".
• infilecross: functions for parsing an "infilecross" file. The file must be well-formed.
• generate: functions for mgxs generation.
• options: definition of OptionsTypeA, which is a sub-class of Options.

File formats

materials.xml

This is an XML file consisting of material definitions.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MATERIAL>

</MATERIAL>

• material: definition of a material object.
• material.name: material name which will be written into the H5 file (string).
• material.set: nuclide set ID for MGXS calculations (int, defaults to name).
• material.label: a short description.
• nuclide: nuclide information for MGXS calculations.
• nuclide.id: nuclide ID containing its atomic number and mass (int).
• nuclide.radio: density used by MGXS calculations (float).
