Serpent Conversion Tools for OpenMC

This repository provides tools for parsing/converting Serpent models to OpenMC classes and/or XML files. To install these tools, run:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc_serpent_adapter.git

This makes the openmc_serpent_adapter Python module and serpent_to_openmc console script available. To convert an Serpent model, run:

serpent_to_openmc serpent_input

Disclaimer

There has been no methodical V&V on this converter; use at your own risk!

Known Limitations

The converter currently only handles geometry and material information; source definition (src) and detectors (det) are ignored.

Many geometry features are not currrently supported:

• Many lattice types
• Limited support for transformations (trans)
• Velocity and acceleration transformations (transa, transv)
• Nested universe definitions (nest)
• Particle geometry (particle)
• Explicit stochastic geometry (pbed)
• Irregular 3D geometry (solid)
• Unstructured mesh-based geometry (umsh)
• Stochastic Voronoi tessellation geomery (voro)
