SCtools

This is a package grouping a set of useful IronPython routines to manipulate/analyse/modify CAD files in SpaceClaim environment.

SCtools contains many independent tools.

Index of scripts

• adjust_by_material.py automatic CAD operations that modify a component to mantain its original volume
• cad_to_mcnp_comparison automatized the generation of reports which compare slice plots from both SpaceClaim and the MCNP plotter.
• csv_generator.py generates or updates a CSV file that tracks important information like original and simplified volume of every component of a CAD file. It is the basis for many other SCtools scripts.
• detect_torus.py paints in a shining and opaque red color all the bodies that contain toroidal surfaces for easy identification
• detect_volumes_to_adjust.py paints in a shining and opaque red all the components with a volume deviation from the original one higher than a limit while painting all the other components in a transparent blue. This allows easy identification of components that require extra work, they are easily fixed with the use of adjust_by_material.py.
• fmesh_tally_card_generator.py select a prismatic body in SpaceClaim and automatically generates the FMESH and TR card definitions for the prism of those dimensions and roto-translation.
• load_csv_points.py is a simple script that allows to read a .csv file containing points coordinates and render them as spheres in SpaceClaim.
• mcnp_materials_from_csv.py automatically updates a MCNP input file with the material, density, DCF, comments and naming found in the CSV file generated with csv_generator.py.
• report_generation generates reports that show CAD comparisons between original and simplified components.
• save_step.py automatically exports a SpaceClaim CAD document into STEP format in a way that will maintain the component hierarchy order after MCNP conversion via SuperMC.
• show_by_material.py select a material as found in the CSV file and only the components that make use of that material will be visible
