f4enix.input.materials.Zaid

class f4enix.input.materials.Zaid(fraction: str | float, element: str, isotope: str, library: str, ab: str = '', fullname: str = '', elem_mass_fraction: float | None = None)

Bases: object

Object representing a Zaid

Parameters:

• fraction (str/float) – fraction of the zaid.

• element (str) – element part of the zaid (AA).

• isotope (str) – isotope part of the zaid (ZZZ).

• library (str) – library suffix (e.g. 99c).

• ab (str, optional) – abundance of the zaid in the material. The default is ‘’.

• fullname (str, optional) – formula name (e.g. H1). The default is ‘’.

• elem_mass_fraction (float, optional) – mass fraction of the element in the submaterial. The default is None

Returns:

• None.

• All the init parameters are saved as attributes. In addition

Variables:

name (str) – AAZZZ[lib]

Methods

__init__(fraction, element, isotope, library)	Object representing a Zaid
from_string(string)	Generate a zaid object from an MCNP string
get_fullname(libmanager)	Get the formula name of the zaid (e.g. H1).
to_text()	Get the zaid string ready for MCNP material card
