This code connects TerraPower's ARMI® engineering automation code with ANL's OpenMC monte carlo radiation transport code.

• Build OpenMC models based on ARMI representations of a reactor in Hex geometry

• Execute OpenMC

• Read OpenMC output information and store it back on the ARMI reactor model for coupling with other codes (e.g. for thermal/hydraulics, fuel performance etc.)

• Only supports a subset of OpenMC geometries

• Does not support all OpenMC features

The ARMI-OpenMC plugin and demonstration application, along with ARMI and all other required dependencies can be installed by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

from within a Python environment. It is recommended to do this inside of a Python Virtual Environment to gain better control of installed dependencies and their versions.
