Shape ComponentAn inactive geometrical shape, for drawing purposes only. It does not propagate neutron, nor interact. Shape: Geometric shape may be a cylinder, a sphere, a box or any other shape box/plate: xwidth x yheight x zdepth (thickness=0) hollow box/plate:xwidth x yheight x zdepth and thickness>0 cylinder: radius x yheight (thickness=0) hollow cylinder: radius x yheight and thickness>0 sphere: radius (yheight=0 thickness=0) hollow sphere: radius and thickness>0 (yheight=0) any shape: geometry=OFF file The complex geometry option handles any closed non-convex polyhedra. It computes the intersection points of the neutron ray with the object transparently, so that it can be used like a regular sample object. It supports the OFF and NOFF file format but not COFF (colored faces). Such files may be generated from XYZ data using qhull/powercrust, and viewed with geomview The default size of the object depends of the OFF file data, but its bounding box may be resized using xwidth,yheight and zdepth. Example: Shape(radius=0.05, yheight=0.1) Shape(geometry="socket.off")
| Name | Unit | Description | Default | |
| geometry | str | Name of an Object File Format (OFF) file for complex geometry. The OFF file may be generated from XYZ coordinates using qhull/powercrust | 0 | |
| radius | m | Outer radius of sample in (x,z) plane | 0 | |
| xwidth | m | Horiz. dimension of sample (bounding box if off file), as a width | 0 | |
| yheight | m | Vert. dimension of sample (bounding box if off file), as a height. A sphere shape is used when 0 and radius is set | 0 | |
