: vaccuum; 1
: reflective) or of a stack id (should appear in the stack
card).

id
: user-defined id of the vertical stack of homogeneous mixes;mixid
: user-defined id of the homogeneous mix of isotopes filling the node if the stackid
(should appear in themix
card);pipeid
: user-defined id of the pipe (should appear in thepipe
card);pipenode
: index of the node inside the thermal-hydraulic pipe defining the node of the stackid
.
Note: the stack represents a subassembly of the core. The axial nodalization of the stack is defined by linking every node of the stack with a pipe node.
