HDF5 to ACE

Hi!

A quick question, is there a way to convert an HDF5 file to ACE (backwards)?

Hi Pedro,

Strictly speaking, the answer is no. Once you have an HDF5 file, we don’t have a way to convert that back to an ACE file. That being said, if you are starting from an ENDF file, you can generate ACE files using the openmc.data module rather than generating HDF5 files. This can be done with the openmc.data.njoy.make_ace function, documented here. Let us know if you have any further questions about this.

Best regards,
Paul
