When I run the depletion case, the k-eigenvalue simulation was stopped, and it says:
WARNING: The shared fission bank is full. Additional fission sites created in this generation will not be banked.
free(): invalid next size (normal)
Aborted
While the k-eff is rather low, around 3000pcm.
The pincell depletion example /pincell_depletion works well. But when I changed the geometry and materials, it raised an error message. It only re-run the simulation 4 times, though I set the time steps and it should be modeled every 30 days over 6 months.
I’m a beginner in OpenMC, and after I build the model and run it, I get the same error.
When I lowered the number of particles in the setting.xml file, OpenMC worked fine again.I wonder if my limited computing ability is causing the problem.What do you think about that?
do you mean the simulation only progressed through four time steps? If you have over depleted, there could be issues related to the multiplication factor being too low. This could be due to not enough fuel at a later point. A very low k-eff is tricky to handle and could be the cause of your fission bank issue.
