openmc-cell-segmenter 0.1.1

todo

Segments OpenMC cells into smaller cells.

Specify the type of segmentation pane desired (XPlane, YPlane, ZPlane or ZCylinder) and the number of segments and obtain segmented cells.

Install

You will need to have OpenMC installed then you can use pip to install this package.

pip install openmc-cell-segmenter

Example scripts

Example Python scripts can be found in the examples folder.

Example outputs

In this animation we see an S shaped cell that has been segmented first with XPlanes, YPlanes, ZPlanes and ZCylinders colored by cell.

Motivation

Cell segmentation has a variety of use cases. However, this package was originally made for redefining CSG geometry for cell based shutdown dose rate simulations where separate cells are needed to capture the variation in neutron activation across large cells.
