Sets up a sample shape, along with the required material properties, and runs the MonteCarloAbsorption algorithm. This algorithm merely serves as a simpler interface to define the shape & material of the sample without having to resort to the more complex CreateSampleShape & SetSampleMaterial algorithms. The computational part is all taken care of by MonteCarloAbsorption. Please see that documentation for more details. Currently the shape geometries supported are:
Example
qens_ws = CreateSampleWorkspace(Function="Quasielastic",
XUnit="Wavelength",
XMin=-0.5,
XMax=0.5,
BinWidth=0.01)
corrected = SimpleShapeMonteCarloAbsorption(InputWorkspace = qens_ws,
ChemicalFormula = 'H2-O',
DensityType = 'Mass Density',
Density = 1.0,
EventsPerPoint = 200,
BeamHeight = 3.5,
BeamWidth = 4.0,
Height = 2.0,
Shape = 'FlatPlate',
Width = 1.4,
Thickness = 2.1)
print("y-axis label: {}".format(corrected.YUnitLabel()))
Output:
y-axis label: Attenuation factor
