The Virtual_output Component

Detector-like component that writes neutron state parameters into a 'virtual source' neutron file.

Identification

Description

Detector-like component writing neutron state parameters to a
virtual source neutron file. The component geometry is the full
plane, and saves the neutron state as it exits from the previous 
component.

  It is particularly useful to generate a virtual source at a point that few
neutron reach. A long simulation will then only be performed once, to create
the upstream 'source' file. Further simulations are much faster if they start 
from this low flux position with the 'source' file.

Possible file formats are:
1-text column formatted with lines containing 11 values in the order:
      p x y z vx vy vz t sx sy sz stored into about 83 bytes/n.
2-float or double binary files (with the 11 values 'p x y z vx vy vz t sx sy sz')
      stored into 44 and 88 bytes/n respectively for float/double.

A Vitess file may be obtained from the 'Vitess_output' component or from a
Vitess simulation (104 bytes per neutron) and read with Vitess_input.

Example: Virtual_output(file="MySource.dat", bufsize = 100000)
  will generate a 9 Mo text file.
