Description
This PR updates functionality in
src/watts/fileutils.pyandsrc/watts/results.pyto allow for more than one mpi processes to be utilized in openmc calculations which are most relevant for depletion. Previously launching more than one mpi process would 1) open separate tmp directories per rank leading to permissions issues when reading statepoint files and 2) would lead to race issues when cleaning up context manager. This PR updatescd_tmpdir()andmove_files()to force all ranks to run in the same tmp directory and to only allow for one rank to move files after calculation is complete. Example of MPI usage with WATTS is shown inexamples/1App_OpenMC_Depletionusing example VHTR model. New tests for serial and mpi usage ofcd_tmpdirandmove_filesis also implemented and checked.Fixes #122
