TRISOGeometry

Computes TRISO Geometry.

Description

This UserObject outputs the TRISO particle and pebble geometry determined from the mesh at the beginning of the simulation. This capability is available in 2D and 3D. There is also the option to disable the TRISO particle or pebble output as applicable to the selected mesh.

For TRISO statistical failure analysis, users are required to provide the mean value of IPyC, SiC and OPyC layer thicknesses.
