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]
class armi.reactor.blueprints.assemblyBlueprint.Modifications(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: yamlize.maps.Map

The names of material modifications and lists of the modification values for each block in the assembly.

Initialize a Map.

Parameters

  • *args – sequence of key/value pairs.

  • **kwargs – kwargs for input to OrderedDict.

key_type

alias of yamlize.yamlizable.Yamlizablestr

value_type

alias of yamlize.sequences.Sequence

attributes = <yamlize.attribute_collection.MapAttributeCollection object>
class armi.reactor.blueprints.assemblyBlueprint.ByComponentModifications(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: yamlize.maps.Map

The name of a component within the block and an associated Modifications object.

Initialize a Map.

Parameters

  • *args – sequence of key/value pairs.

  • **kwargs – kwargs for input to OrderedDict.

key_type

alias of yamlize.yamlizable.Yamlizablestr

value_type

alias of Modifications

attributes = <yamlize.attribute_collection.MapAttributeCollection object>
class armi.reactor.blueprints.assemblyBlueprint.MaterialModifications(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: yamlize.maps.Map

A yamlize map for reading and holding material modifications.

A user may specify material modifications directly as keys/values on this class, in which case these material modifications will be blanket applied to the entire block.

If the user wishes to specify material modifications specific to a component within the block, they should use the by component attribute, specifying the keys/values underneath the name of a specific component in the block.

Initialize a Map.

Parameters

  • *args – sequence of key/value pairs.

  • **kwargs – kwargs for input to OrderedDict.

key_type

alias of yamlize.yamlizable.Yamlizablestr

value_type

alias of yamlize.sequences.Sequence

byComponent

Represents an attribute of a Python class, and a key/value pair in YAML.

Variables

  • name (str) – name of the attribute within the Python class

  • key (str) – name of the attribute within the YAML representation

  • type (type or ANY) – type of the attribute within the Python class. When ANY, the type is a pass-through and whatever YAML determines it should be will be applied.

  • storage_name (str) – '_yamlized_' + name, stored as a separate attribute for speed.
