This folder contains a test example of Cyclus sensitivity analysis studies conducted using Dakota. Cyclus interfaces with Dakota through a Python interface.

To run the test case, run the following from this directory:

dakota -i dakota_test.in -o dakota_test.out

In the test case, dakota is running 3 Cyclus simulations in which power is varied from 1500 to 1600MW with 2 partitions. This results in 3 Cyclus simulations run for 1500MW, 1550MW, and 1600MW. Each Cyclus simulation is 10 months long. In this example, the output is not being processed using a sql query to return the total power generated in the simulation, which is 15000MW, 15500MW, and 16000MW for the respective simulations.
