Release Information

  • Release date: 2024-09-23

Change log:

## [2.6.0] - 9-23-2024

### Changed

* The option to specify a MC code with `mcsim/codes` is now optional and any input will be ignored as OpenMC is the only supported MC code.
* PyMCSim output formatting from OpenMC is more consistent with other ARC output to use `|` for delimiters in tables.
* PyMCSim output formatting for K-effective has changed depending on the presence of depletion or not.
* In order to support depletion with OpenMC, the minimum version for OpenMC is now v0.14.4 and minimum Python version is 3.10.

### Added

* ANL9 added as an energy group structure name for MCC3
* PyMCSim now supports depletion calculations with OpenMC. Full description of the new input and available output is available in the tutorial.

### Fixed

* The autocompletion and templates for `mcsim` were not properly completing or functioning. That has been fixed so autocomplete works throughout the `mcsim` input block in Workbench.
* Plot-2d utility script was modified to be able to process results with depletion beyond 10000 days.

Release Checklist
