The input syntax of Ants is currently completely card based without limit symbols.

Input syntax

The following general syntax guide lines hold for Ants specific input. For example the HEXBU-3D/MOD5 group constant files follow their respective syntax.

  • Ants input supports rest of line comment symbols ! and //, and block comments beginning with /* and ending with */.
  • Blocks beginning and ending with " are held together in for example input file paths.
  • All tokens are separated with either space , comma , or tabular characters.
  • Consecutive input may be repeated using *. The token before * must be a positive integer (the number of repeats).
  • The input is case insensitive.
  • The main block keywords (below) are reserved. In the main blocks, the sub-block keywords (even further below) are reserved.

Main blocks

When the main input file is read, it is tokenized and split into main blocks. Depending on the main block, they might be split into sub-blocks. Currently, the main block keywords are

  • title
  • echo
  • global
  • core
  • fuel
  • controlrod
  • hydraulics
  • iteration
  • library
  • output
  • start
  • end
