hericendre 0.1.0

A radioactive decay and fuel depletion code

Welcome to Héricendre

Installation

Héricendre uses vcpkg for dependency management. Simply install vcpkg and identify the path to the vcpkg.cmake file. It should be located in $VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake.

To only build the hericendre binary, go to the Héricendre root directory and do:

$ cmake -Bbuild/ -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/vcpkg.cmake .
$ cd build
$ make

To build the hericendre python package:

$ uv build -Ccmake.define.CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/vcpkg.cmake

Use

The compute the decay of a single nuclide over 10 years:

name = "Example"

[Settings]
chain = "data/chain_casl_sfr.xml"
results = "results/results_cram.h5"
solver = "CRAM48"

[Material]
concentrations = { Pu239 = 1 }

[Time]
unit = "y"
timestamps = [0, "linspace 1 10 9", 10]

To compute the decay of a material containing 1 single unit of every nuclide in the chain:

name = "Example"

[Settings]
chain = "data/chain_casl_sfr.xml"
results = "results/results_cram.h5"
solver = "CRAM48"

[Material]
uniform = 1.0

[Time]
unit = "y"
timestamps = [0, "linspace 1 10 9", 10]
