hi
i was trying to work with openmc, i have successfully configured it in ubuntu virtual machine and openmc seems to work fine there.
one error i encountered though was in running get_nndc_data.py i had to comment this line #from openmc.ace import ascii_to_binary in this file and hence select NO at the end when it asks whether i want to convert ascii to binary or not… all this seems to work fine in ubuntu. i have ace files as well as a cross sections file in openmc/data/nndc folder. so i set cross sections path in openmc/examples/xml/basic (settings.xml file) and then ran openmc using “openmc home/openmc/examples/xml/basic”. it works fine.
however in windows i didn’t get any cross_sections.xml file in …data/nndc folder, however i do have 293.6 and tsl folders with ace files (like in ubuntu), so i copied cross_sections.xml file from ubuntu to windows i.e. c:\openmc-develop\data\nndc, changed the settings.xml in c:\openmc-develop\examples\xml\basic just like i did in ubuntu to add the correct path of correct cross_sections.xml.
now how do i run openmc in windows? (windows 10), i have tried copying files from basic folder to C:\openmc-develop\build\bin location as well as in data folder, so it does picks the file but gives me error "couldn’t open file c:\openmc-develop\data\nndc\cross_sections.xml - not a valid URI. i have also tried with upper case ‘C’ and lowercase ‘c’.
i know its better to work with ubuntu and since i have it running there, but it seems i am just a step away in windows as well… so it’ll be good to have it in windows as well to do some quick re runs.
and apologies for such a long message, i tried to write as much details as possible.
