Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspace	Input	Workspace	Mandatory	Workspace containing the instrument to be exported
EulerConvention	Input	string	YZY	Euler angles convention used when writing angles. Allowed values: [‘ZXZ’, ‘XYX’, ‘YZY’, ‘ZYZ’, ‘XZX’, ‘YXY’, ‘XYZ’, ‘YZX’, ‘ZXY’, ‘XZY’, ‘ZYX’, ‘YXZ’]
Components	Input	str list		Comma separated list of instrument component names to export
Filename	Input	string	Mandatory	Save file. Allowed extensions: [‘.xml’]

Description

This algorithm is intended to write out portions of an instrument’s geometry in the Instrument Definition File xml format. The resulting file is meant to be copied by-hand into a geometry file, the output is not a useable IDF as written.

The main use of this algorithm is if the instrument geometry is calibrated in mantid, this algorithm can be used to help get the information back into the initial instrument definition file.

Usage

LoadEmptyInstrument(Filename="NOMAD_Definition.xml",
                    OutputWorkspace="NOM_geom")
import mantid
filename=mantid.config.getString("defaultsave.directory")+"NOMgeometry.xml"
ExportGeometry(InputWorkspace="NOM_geom",
               Components="bank46,bank47",
               Filename=filename)
import os
if os.path.isfile(filename):
    print("File created: True")

Output:

File created: True
