SCMTriPinMeshGenerator
Creates a mesh of 1D fuel pins in a triangular lattice arrangement
Overview
This mesh generator creates the mesh were the SCM solution variables associated with the pins live. The user needs to provide the "nrings" parameter which defines the number of fuel pin rings. For triangular sub-assemblies, one nring means that there is one central pin in the (0 0 0) position and six neighboring ones on the the vertices of a normal hexagon. 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_entry". Last, "input" is a parameter that takes the name of an object of type SCMTriSubChannelMeshGenerator so the user must be careful to define consistent parameters across both MeshGenerators. The center of the mesh is the origin.

# Following Benchmark Specifications and Data Requirements for the AREVA heated-bundle test in its Fuel Cooling Test Facility (FCTF)
# as part of a U.S. DOE funded project: Towards a Longer-Life Core. In partnership with TerraPower, TAMU and ANL,
# AREVA NP tested a wire-wrapped pin bundle. The bundle consists of electrically heated pins and non-heated pins.
# This test collected measurements to evaluate thermal hydraulic performance of a wire wrapped bundle, useful for CFD and other software validation.
