please help me to fix this

Hi Noor Al Din, welcome to the openmc community.
the problem you encounter is
RuntimeError: No cells were found in the geometry.xml file
which came from this line input root_univ.add_cell = root_cell, which makes the material.xml file empty. It should be root_univ.add_cell(root_cell) so the root_cell will be added as root universe for your openmc model.
also, this part of region definitions root_cell.region = fuel_reg & gap_reg & clad_reg | mod_reg can’t work since the fuel region will not intersect (&) to gap regions and so on.
try to use a simpler method, such as the root cell covering the area of 1 fuel pin with coolant which is then filled with fuel pin universe.

also, there are several other things that you should pay attention to when using Onix, i.e. Onix can’t handle add_element if you use that when defining depletable material, so you need to use add_nuclide. also, problems might arise in the Onix routine when you use void material in root cells, and don’t forget to add total volume in your Onix openmc volume definition. With many Onix examples from their documentation, I think it would be good practice to give names to all your cells.

your model has a low heavy metal loading (low k-inf value) for 420 days of operation in 550 watts/cc. You might want to check your input. Here is the notebook for your case
nooronix.ipynb (1.5 MB)

Thank you very much for your help.
but in my jupyter note book
File ~/anaconda3/envs/openmc-env/lib/python3.12/site-packages/numpy/linalg/_linalg.py:162, in _commonType(*arrays) 159 result_type = double 160 elif rt is None: 161 # unsupported inexact scalar → 162 raise TypeError(“array type %s is unsupported in linalg” % 163 (a.dtype.name,)) 164 else: 165 result_type = double TypeError: array type complex256 is unsupported in linalg
have you faced this issue before?

Hi Noor,
Sorry, I didn’t get any error when running your case, you can check the notebook file I attached. Have you tried to run the openmc-onix notebook example to make sure that you have a proper configuration?
You can also try to localize the problem in your model, i.e. try to run the openmc part of your input and then run the coupled openmc-onix.
