VERACore

VERACore is a Python application for visualization and engineering analyses of output data from VERA (Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications). Implemented in Python, it provides instantaneous 2D and 3D images, 1D plots, and alphanumeric data from VERA multi-physics simulations.

python3 -m venv ./vera-env
source ./vera-env/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install vera-core

vera-core --data <path-to-vera-out-file>

Development

Setup a virtual environment with a modern Python 3.

.. code-block:: console

python3 -m venv ./vera-env
source ./vera-env/bin/activate
pip install -U pip

Get the code base and build its widgets

.. code-block:: console

git clone git@github.com:Kitware/VERACore.git
cd VERACore

# Build the custom UI widgets
cd vue-components
npm i
npm run build
cd ..

# Install local repository into your venv
pip install -e .

Run the application to test out your changes

.. code-block:: console

vera-core --server
