## prerequisites
### CAD_to_openMC
[CAD_to_openMC](https://github.com/openmsr/CAD_to_openMC) is an open-source package to convert CAD geometry (in the form of '.step' files) into an openmc-readable h5m file

### openmc
these simulations use [openmc](https://docs.openmc.org/en/stable/). automated source installation scripts for linux can be found [here](https://github.com/openmsr/openmc_install_scripts)

## simulation guide

first, clone the repository

```
git clone https://github.com/openmsr/are.git
```

enter the are folder and run the `run.sh` script

```
cd are
bash run.sh
```
