3.3. The Facemap Input File

Given a set of defined assemblies in the The Blueprints Input File, their arrangement in a reactor is defined by the Facemap input file (sometimes called the geometry file). This is a very simple XML format file that is almost always created using the GUI described in The Settings Input File, though it can be edited manually as well.

Find an example format of the Facemap file in the Building input files for a reactor.

Note

You can point many ARMI runs to the same Facemap input file using full paths.
