PointTransformationAux
Auxkernel to visualize the point transformations used in OpenMC
Description
Displays the , , or coordinates that get mapped to OpenMC. This auxiliary kernel can be used to ensure that the normal, rotation_axis, and rotation_angle parameters on SymmetryPointGenerator apply the desired transformations. In other words, this class displays the transformed spatial coordinates.
Example Input Syntax
As an example, we can visualize the transformed , , and coordinates for a mapping that obeys 1/6th symmetry with a symmetry plane normal of and a symmetry axis of with the following.
[AuxKernels]
[x]
type = PointTransformationAux
variable = x
component = x
[]
[y]
type = PointTransformationAux
variable = y
component = y
[]
[z]
type = PointTransformationAux
variable = z
component = z
[]
[]
[Problem]
type = OpenMCCellAverageProblem
symmetry_mapper = sym
[]
[UserObjects]
[sym]
type = SymmetryPointGenerator
normal = '0.0 1.0 0.0'
rotation_axis = '0.0 0.0 1.0'
rotation_angle = ${fparse 360.0 / 6.0}
[]
[]
Then, the x variable will show the transformed coordinate - as shown in Figure 1, the coordinate obeys 1/6th symmetry.

The OpenMC model would then need to correspond to the blue 1/6th slice in Figure 2 in order for the applied normal, rotation_axis, and rotation_angle to properly map to the OpenMC domain.

C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
- boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
