Adding cells volume information

User Support

Is it possible to add cells volume information to the summary.h5 file? I tried to do it with:
mycell = openmc.Cell(…)
mycell.volume = x
but I didn’t see the added volume appearing anywhere (or using to divide the scored ‘flux’).

Hi Josem,

There’s no need to do it. Unlike MCNP, OpenMC reports the flux in unit “n*cm/s”. You can divide them by the volume manually to get the true flux.

Hi Xinyan,
You’re right but, what is then the purpose of the variable volume, available in class openmc.Call()?
