SCMQuadPinMeshGenerator
Creates a mesh of 1D fuel pins in a square lattice arrangement
Overview
This mesh generator creates the mesh were the SCM solution variables associated with the fuel pins live. The user needs to provide the number of subchannels "nx" in the -x direction and "ny" in the -y direction. The number of cells in the -z direction is given by "n_cells". The distance of the pins from eachother is given by the "pitch" parameter and the total length of the pins in the -z direction is defined by the parameters: "heated_length","unheated_length_entry","unheated_length_exit". Last, "input" is a parameter that takes the name of an object of type SCMQuadSubChannelMeshGenerator so the user must be careful to define consistent parameters across both MeshGenerators. The center of the mesh is the origin.
