armi.reactor.components.basicShapes module

Components represented by basic shapes.

Many reactor components can be described in 2D by circles, hexagons, rectangles, etc. These are defined in this subpackage.

Implementation: Hexagon shaped Component I_ARMI_COMP_SHAPES1

signature: Hexagon requirements: R_ARMI_COMP_SHAPES

This class provides the implementation of a hexagonal Component. This includes setting key parameters such as its material, temperature, and dimensions. It also includes methods for retrieving geometric dimension information unique to hexagons such as the getPerimeter and getPitchData methods.

is3D = False

THERMAL_EXPANSION_DIMS = {'ip', 'op'}

pDefs = <armi.reactor.parameters.parameterDefinitions.ParameterDefinitionCollection object>

getBoundingCircleOuterDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

getCircleInnerDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

getComponentArea(cold=False)

Computes the area for the hexagon component in cm^2.

getPerimeter(Tc=None)

Computes the perimeter of the hexagon component in cm.

getPitchData()

Return the pitch data that should be used to determine block pitch.

Notes

This pitch data should only be used if this is the pitch defining component in a block. The block is responsible for determining which component in it is the pitch defining component.

Bases: ShapedComponent

A Rectangle.

Implementation: Rectangle shaped Component I_ARMI_COMP_SHAPES2

signature: Rectangle requirements: R_ARMI_COMP_SHAPES

This class provides the implementation for a rectangular Component. This includes setting key parameters such as its material, temperature, and dimensions. It also includes methods for computing geometric information related to rectangles, such as the getBoundingCircleOuterDiameter and getPitchData methods.

is3D = False

THERMAL_EXPANSION_DIMS = {'lengthInner', 'lengthOuter', 'widthInner', 'widthOuter'}

pDefs = <armi.reactor.parameters.parameterDefinitions.ParameterDefinitionCollection object>

getBoundingCircleOuterDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

getCircleInnerDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

getComponentArea(cold=False)

Computes the area of the rectangle in cm^2.

isLatticeComponent()

Return true if the component is a lattice component containing void material and zero area.

getPitchData()

Return the pitch data that should be used to determine block pitch.

Notes

For rectangular components there are two pitches, one for each dimension. This pitch data should only be used if this is the pitch defining component in a block. The block is responsible for determining which component in it is the pitch defining component.

Bases: Rectangle

Solid rectangle component.

is3D = False

THERMAL_EXPANSION_DIMS = {'lengthOuter', 'widthOuter'}

getComponentArea(cold=False)

Computes the area of the solid rectangle in cm^2.

Bases: Rectangle

Square component that can be solid or hollow.

Implementation: Square shaped Component I_ARMI_COMP_SHAPES3

signature: Square requirements: R_ARMI_COMP_SHAPES

This class provides the implementation for a square Component. This class subclasses the Rectangle class because a square is a type of rectangle. This includes setting key parameters such as its material, temperature, and dimensions.

is3D = False

getComponentArea(cold=False)

Computes the area of the square in cm^2.

getBoundingCircleOuterDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

getCircleInnerDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

This class provides the implementation for defining a triangular Component. This includes setting key parameters such as its material, temperature, and dimensions. It also includes providing a method for retrieving the area of a Triangle Component via the getComponentArea method.

Notes

The exact angles of the triangle are undefined. The exact side lenths and angles are not critical to calculation of component area, so area can still be calculated.

pDefs = <armi.reactor.parameters.parameterDefinitions.ParameterDefinitionCollection object>

getComponentArea(cold=False)

Computes the area of the triangle in cm^2.
