openmc.capi.run_in_memory¶

openmc.capi.run_in_memory(intracomm=None)[source]¶

This function is intended to be used in a ‘with’ statement and ensures that OpenMC is properly initialized/finalized. At the completion of the ‘with’ block, all memory that was allocated during the block is freed. For example:

with openmc.capi.run_in_memory():
    for i in range(n_iters):
        openmc.capi.reset()
        do_stuff()
        openmc.capi.run()

Parameters:	intracomm (mpi4py.MPI.Intracomm or None) – MPI intracommunicator
