openmc.Cone

class openmc.Cone(x0=0.0, y0=0.0, z0=0.0, r2=1.0, dx=0.0, dy=0.0, dz=1.0, *args, **kwargs)[source]

A conical surface parallel to the x-, y-, or z-axis.

Parameters:
  • x0 (float, optional) – x-coordinate of the apex. Defaults to 0.
  • y0 (float, optional) – y-coordinate of the apex. Defaults to 0.
  • z0 (float, optional) – z-coordinate of the apex. Defaults to 0.
  • r2 (float, optional) – Parameter related to the aperature. Defaults to 1.
  • dx (float, optional) – x-component of the vector representing the axis of the cone. Defaults to 0.
  • dy (float, optional) – y-component of the vector representing the axis of the cone. Defaults to 0.
  • dz (float, optional) – z-component of the vector representing the axis of the cone. Defaults to 1.
  • surface_id (int, optional) – Unique identifier for the surface. If not specified, an identifier will automatically be assigned.
  • boundary_type ({'transmission, 'vacuum', 'reflective', 'white'}, optional) – Boundary condition that defines the behavior for particles hitting the surface. Defaults to transmissive boundary condition where particles freely pass through the surface.
  • name (str) – Name of the cone. If not specified, the name will be the empty string.
Variables:
  • x0 (float) – x-coordinate of the apex
  • y0 (float) – y-coordinate of the apex
  • z0 (float) – z-coordinate of the apex
  • r2 (float) – Parameter related to the aperature
  • dx (float) – x-component of the vector representing the axis of the cone.
  • dy (float) – y-component of the vector representing the axis of the cone.
  • dz (float) – z-component of the vector representing the axis of the cone.
  • boundary_type ({'transmission, 'vacuum', 'reflective', 'white'}) – Boundary condition that defines the behavior for particles hitting the surface.
  • coefficients (dict) – Dictionary of surface coefficients
  • id (int) – Unique identifier for the surface
  • name (str) – Name of the surface
  • type (str) – Type of the surface
