[gonuke]

8 AM CDT/1300 UTC on Thursday, August 18.

Present:

• UW-Madison: @gonuke, @bohmt
• ANL: @pshriwise
• UKAEA: @makeclean
• First Light Fusion: @shimwell
• BaM Scientific Consulting: @bam241

Discussion:

• MOAB install challenges with newer version of pip/setuptools - fails to install testing version causing other builds to fail
  • solution - add install location to PYTHONPATH in moab/pymoab CMakeLists.txt - @gonuke
• Assistance to Oxford Sigma: MOAB cub-file reader is falling behind Cubit. This is used in workflows that generate tetmesh for use in DAGMC tallies. One option is to export a different mesh format from Cubit (exodus?) and configure MOAB to read that.
• Cubit plugin updates:
  • PR#135 v2022.6 is now removed from Cubit so roll this back to 2022.4
  • don't worry about windows builds for now
  • add a table to Readme that shows which releases work for which configurations ✔️ see PR
• Coreform still interested in pursuing OFES support
• @shimwell is working on methods of creating DAGMC geometry from vertices and tris 🔗 to repo
• PyNE bug on testing with outdated OpenMC statepoint file (Issue#1458)
