openmc.MeshFilter¶

class openmc.MeshFilter(mesh, filter_id=None)[source]¶

Bins tally event locations by mesh elements.

Parameters

mesh (openmc.MeshBase) – The mesh object that events will be tallied onto
filter_id (int) – Unique identifier for the filter

Variables

mesh (openmc.MeshBase) – The mesh object that events will be tallied onto
id (int) – Unique identifier for the filter
translation (Iterable of float) – This array specifies a vector that is used to translate (shift) the mesh for this filter
bins (list of tuple) – A list of mesh indices for each filter bin, e.g. [(1, 1, 1), (2, 1, 1), …]
num_bins (Integral) – The number of filter bins

can_merge(other)[source]¶

Determine if filter can be merged with another.

Parameters: other (openmc.Filter) – Filter to compare with
Returns: Whether the filter can be merged
Return type: bool

classmethod from_hdf5(group, **kwargs)[source]¶

Construct a new Filter instance from HDF5 data.

Parameters: group (h5py.Group) – HDF5 group to read from
Keyword Arguments: meshes (dict) – Dictionary mapping integer IDs to openmc.MeshBase objects. Only used for openmc.MeshFilter objects.

classmethod from_xml_element(elem: Element, **kwargs) → MeshFilter[source]¶

Generate a filter from an XML element

Parameters

elem (lxml.etree._Element) – XML element
**kwargs – Keyword arguments (e.g., mesh information)

Returns

Filter object

Return type

openmc.Filter

get_pandas_dataframe(data_size, stride, **kwargs)[source]¶

Builds a Pandas DataFrame for the Filter’s bins.

This method constructs a Pandas DataFrame object for the filter with columns annotated by filter bin information. This is a helper method for Tally.get_pandas_dataframe().

Parameters

data_size (int) – The total number of bins in the tally corresponding to this filter
stride (int) – Stride in memory for the filter

Returns

A Pandas DataFrame with three columns describing the x,y,z mesh cell indices corresponding to each filter bin. The number of rows in the DataFrame is the same as the total number of bins in the corresponding tally, with the filter bin appropriately tiled to map to the corresponding tally bins.

Return type

pandas.DataFrame
