Hi, this is my first time using Openmc
Currently I want to simulate a room inside openmc to measure radiation levels inside an xray exposure room. I have tried finding tutorials online on how to build such a room but alas, I still have no clue how to do it
Is there anyone that can guide me on how to simulate a room ?
I just took a picture off google as reference,
I define all my planes first
You can add boundary conditions here on your x1, x4, y1, and y4 with vacuum condition if your wall thickness is thick enough to attenuate most radiation making it insignificant, or if you do not care about outside the room, if you are simulating this to check the amount of x-rays that escape you would not apply any boundary conditions. If you are modelling in 3D and not just 2D you will need 4 more planes in the z-direction, made the same way as x and y.
Next you make the cells, start by making each wall into rectangular slabs like so,
For the z direction it is much the same process.
If you want to model the door open, or if its made from different material you will need to separate the wall it’s on into separate slabs like so,
This,
Let me know if you need any more assistance!
You can also look at these example notebooks if you are new to CSG model and openmc
