sandy.mcnp.mctal module

This module contains all classes and functions to provide a API for a MCNP mctal file.

class sandy.mcnp.mctal.MctalTally(tally, vals, *args, **kwargs)

Bases: object

Container for a MCTAL tally.

Attributes:

valspandas.DataFrame

dataframe of tally values

6 columns are provided:

• f[c|t] : cells, surfaces or detector bins

  fc = “cumulative” value is given ft = “total” value is given

• d : total vs. direct or flagged vs. unflagged bins

  For detectors, n=2 unless there is an ND on the F5 card; for cell and surface tallies, n=1 unless there is an SF or CF card

• u[c|t] : user bins

  uc = “cumulative” value is given ut = “total” value is given

• s[c|t] : segment bins

  sc = “cumulative” value is given st = “total” value is given

• m[c,t] : multiplier bins

  mc = “cumulative” value is given mt = “total” value is given

• c[c,t] : cosine bins

  cc = “cumulative” value is given ct = “total” value is given

  Note

  f flag for point values is not yet implemented

• e[c,t] : energy bins

  ec = “cumulative” value is given et = “total” value is given

  Note

  f flag for point values is not yet implemented

• t[c,t] : time bins

  tc = “cumulative” value is given tt = “total” value is given

  Note

  f flag for point values is not yet implemented

• vals : tally values

  The order is what a 9-dimensional Fortran array would have if it were dimensioned (NF,…,NE,NT), where NF is the # of cell, surface, or detector bins, NE is the # of energy bins, and NT is the # of time bins

• err : tally statistical error (relative)
