static wrap_string_for_mcnp(string, mcnp_version, is_first_line, suppress_blank_end=True) list[str]#

Wraps the list of the words to be a well formed MCNP input.

multi-line inputs will be handled by using the indentation format, and not the “&” method.

Parameters:
  • string (str) – A long string with new lines in it, that needs to be chunked appropriately for MCNP inputs

  • mcnp_version (tuple) – the tuple for the MCNP that must be formatted for.

  • is_first_line (bool) – If true this will be the beginning of an MCNP input. The first line will not be indented.

  • suppress_blank_end (bool) – Whether or not to suppress any blank lines that would be added to the end. Good for anywhere but cell modifiers in the cell block.

Returns:

A list of strings that can be written to an input file, one item to a line.

Return type:

list

_check_redundant_definitions()#

Checks that data wasn’t given in data block and the cell block.

abstractmethod _clear_data()#

After data has been pushed to cells, delete internal data to avoid inadvertent editing.

This is only called on data-block instances of this object.

_collect_new_values()#

Gets a list of the ValueNodes that hold the information for all cells.

This will be a list in the same order as montepy.mcnp_problem.MCNP_Problem.cells().

Returns:

a list of the ValueNodes to update the data block syntax tree with

Return type:

list

_format_tree()#

Formats the syntax tree for printing in an input file.

By default this runs self._tree.format().

Returns:

a string of the text to write out to the input file (not wrapped yet for MCNP).

Return type:

str

abstractmethod _update_cell_values()#

Updates values in the syntax tree when in the cell block.

clone() MCNP_Object#

Create a new independent instance of this object.

Returns:

a new instance identical to this object.

Return type:

type(self)

format_for_mcnp_input(mcnp_version: tuple[int], has_following: bool = False, always_print: bool = False)#

Creates a string representation of this MCNP_Object that can be written to file.

Parameters:
  • mcnp_version (tuple) – The tuple for the MCNP version that must be exported to.

  • has_following (bool) – If true this is followed by another input, and a new line will be inserted if this ends in a comment.

  • always_print (bool) – If true this will always produce a result irrespective of print_in_data_block.

Returns:

a list of strings for the lines that this input will occupy.

Return type:

list

Links the input to the parent problem for this input.

This is done so that inputs can find links to other objects.

Parameters:

problem (MCNP_Problem) – The problem to link this input to.

mcnp_str(mcnp_version: tuple[int] = None)#

Returns a string of this input as it would appear in an MCNP input file.

abstractmethod push_to_cells()#

After being linked to the problem update all cells attributes with this data.

This needs to also check that none of the cells had data provided in the cell block (check that set_in_cell_block isn’t set). Use self._check_redundant_definitions to do this.

Raises:

MalformedInputError – When data are given in the cell block and the data block.
