I think most users will open the statepoint file with the openmc python api as that provides access to useful methods of extracting tallies etc. However if you want to just see the contents from the terminal the statepoint file is a hdf5 format file so you can use commands like h5dump ```bash h5dump statepoint.150.h5 ``` ---

How can i use python api for this h5 file view in openmc? ---

Assuming you want to access a tally you can open and print the results from within a python script like this import openmc sp = openmc.StatePoint(‘statepoint.150.h5’) tally = sp.get\_tally(id=1) print(tally) Docs for statepoints are [http://openmc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pythonapi/generated/openmc.StatePoint.html#openmc.StatePoint](http://openmc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pythonapi/generated/openmc.StatePoint.html#openmc.StatePoint) And for summary.h5 files [http://openmc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pythonapi/generated/openmc.Summary.html#openmc.Summary](http://openmc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/pythonapi/generated/openmc.Summary.html#openmc.Summary) ---

I forgot to mention you will need to change the id=1 part to the id number of your tally. ---

I changed the number 1, it gave the same error again ---

The example I gave does also assume you have a tally in the simulation as well knowing that tally id number. We can adapt it to get any tally that is present ```auto import openmc sp = openmc.StatePoint(‘statepoint.150.h5’) tallies = sp.tallies print(tallies) ``` In my case I get this print out ```auto {35: Tally ID = 35 Name = dose_on_cell Filters = CellFilter, EnergyFunctionFilter, ParticleFilter Nuclides = total Scores = ['flux'] Estimator = tracklength, 36: Tally ID = 36 Name = surface_current Filters = CellFilter, SurfaceFilter Nuclides = total Scores = ['current'] Estimator = analog} >>> ``` Therefore I could grab tally using the ID or the dictionary key of 35 The [post processing example](https://docs.openmc.org/en/v0.8.0/pythonapi/examples/post-processing.html) might be helpful as a general guide ---

## I think this example is not the correct command for assembly.Same error AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[9], line 1 ----\> 1 tallies = sp.get\_tallies 2 print(tallies) AttributeError: ‘StatePoint’ object has no attribute ‘get\_tallies’ ---

Sounds like there are no tallies in the model ---
