constantBurnup
Description
The constant burnup class in OFFBEAT allows you to set the burnup field
in a file located in the starting time folder. If the Bu file is present in the
starting time folder, the internal field and boundary conditions are set
accordingly. If the Bufile is not present, the burnup field is set by degault to
0 MWd/MT\(_{oxide}\) in each cell, with zeroGradient BCs in all non-empty/-wedge
patches. oNte that.
When selecting this burnup model, the burnup field will not evolve over time and will remain as defined in the starting time folder (or as set by default by OFFBEAT).
Note
At the moment, the constant model is the correct burnup model to use if
you are coupling OFFBEAT to an external solver that provides the Bu field
directly. At every coupled iteration, simply substitute the Bu file generated
with the external solver in the starting time folder and (re)start the OFFBEAT
simulation.
Warning
For backward-compatibility, fromLatestTime can be still used as the typename
for the constant burnup model. However, its use is deprecated.
