Compiling the source code
Compiler options
Running Serpent
Serpent is run from the Linux command line interface. The general syntax is:
sss2 INPUT [ options ]
Where INPUT is the input file name and the available options are:
| -version | : print version information and exit |
| -replay | : run simulation using random number seed from a previous run |
| -his | : run only burnup history in coefficient calculation |
| -coe | : run only restarts in coefficient calculation |
| -plot | : stop after geometry plot |
| -checkvolumes N | : calculate Monte Carlo estimates for material volumes by sampling N random points in the geometry |
| -checkstl N M | : check for holes and errors in STL geometries by sampling M directions in N points |
| -mpi N | : run simulation in MPI mode using N parallel tasks |
| -omp N | : run simulation in OpenMP mode using N parallel threads |
| -disperse | : generate random particle or pebble distribution files for HTGR calculations |
| -rdep | : read binary depletion file from previous calculation and print new output according to inventory list |
| -tracks N | : draw N particle tracks in the geometry plots or invoke track plot animation |
| -comp MAT [ ID ] | : print standard material composition of listed material MAT that can be copy-pasted into the inputfile |
| -elem SYM DENS [ ID ] | : decomposes natural element identified by symbol SYM at density DENS into its constituent isotopes |
| -qp | : quick plot mode (ignore overlaps) |
| -nofatal | : ignore fatal errors |
Most of the input options are self-explanatory, the rest are described below.
