"# Modeling a Pincell\n",
"In this module, we'll demonstrate the basic features of the Python API for constructing input files and running OpenMC. In it, we will show how to create a basic reflective pincell model that is equivalent to modeling an infinite array of fuel pins in a pressurized water reactor (PWR). We highly recommend having a copy of the [Python API reference documentation](https://docs.openmc.org/en/stable/pythonapi/index.html) open in another browser tab that you can refer to."
