armi.reactor.blueprints.assemblyBlueprint module¶

This module defines the blueprints input object for assemblies.

In addition to defining the input format, the AssemblyBlueprint class is responsible for constructing Assembly objects. An attempt has been made to decouple Assembly construction from the rest of ARMI as much as possible. For example, an assembly does not require a reactor to be constructed, or a geometry file (but uses contained Block geometry type as a surrogate).

armi.reactor.blueprints.assemblyBlueprint._configureAssemblyTypes()[source]¶
