SCIANTIX documentation¶
SCIANTIX is a physics-based meso-scale simulation code for modeling the behavior of nuclear fuel grains. It bridges the gap between atomistic simulations and engineering-scale fuel performance codes.
Quick Start¶
To get started with SCIANTIX, follow these steps:
Install Dependencies: Ensure you have a C++17 compiler and CMake installed.
Clone and Build:
git clone https://github.com/sciantix/sciantix-official.git cd sciantix-official ./Allmake.sh
Run a Test Case:
cd regression python3 runner.py --baker
