What is Mcnp5: Definition and 41 Discussions

Hello everyone! I need to make sure that my source is isotropic. How can I check that? I have point source pos -11 0 0 erg=d1 with Maxwellian spectrum of energy and some surfaces through which neutron flux passes.

Can anyone tell me how I can solve the problem of non-verification of statistical tests done by MCNP5 (relative error, VOV, figure of Merite, slope). I tried to increase the number of particles generated in order to hope to verify the tests but it did not work.

I have a problem with my MCNP5 cross-section library. Se and Te elements with atomic numbers; 34000 and 52000, respectively, have no neutron cross-section stored, either neutron contentious or neutron other, in the library, and so I can't run any input file that has any material of them because...

I am working on the optimization of the thickness of filters in order to reduce the continuous Bremsstrahlung spectrum emitted by phosphorus 32 measured by the Ge(HP) detector using some MCNP5 code but unfortunately I couldn't find the exact form of declaration of bremsstrahlung in the MCNP...

I am working on optimizing the thickness of the filters in order to reduce the continuous Bremsstrahlung spectrum emitted by phosphorus 32 with a maximum energy of 1.8 MeV measured by the Ge(HP) detector using MCNP5 code but unfortunately I don't haven't found the exact form of declaration of...

Hello - what is an accepted definition of the skyshinne dose in MCNP and how would you calculate this? If you have a source and a shield a few meters away between the dose point, the contribution that goes around the shield would be skyshine....but..what if you have a big source region (e.g., a...

The MCNP manual states that you can have multiple detectors for a single F5 tally. Say you have f15:n x1 y1 z1 r x2 y2 z2 r.....Thing is, my output file only lists the tally result for the first f5 detector (x1,y1,z1). Where are other detectors for this tally? Is there a reason code developers...

Hi there I want to convert the flux (F4:N tally) from mcnp units to cm-2s-1 units. How to do that? Also I have some bug in MCNPX: while running the file, I get an error like " >bad trouble in imcn in routine xin >Cannot find bertin " How to solve it? Database for MCNP5-MCNPX got installed already.

Hi, I am interested in simulation of parallel beams for neutrons and photons (separately of course). Any ideas on how to simulate them in MCNP5 or MCNPX?

I knew MCNP at 3 month ago but I do not know Why followed IMP:N (or IMP:P) IMP:N 1 2 2M or IMP:N 1 3 2M. I do not understand Why 2 (or 3) behind 1. Please, Someone indicate an answer physic, thank

I'm modelling a scenario for the research that I'm working on, and I got the cells and surfaces all mapped out for the environment finally, but now I'm totally stuck on creating a source. I'd like a point source of Californium-252, but after hours of looking, I don't see any out of the 1000...

when I set nps=100000000 and 35 threads , there is a problem that cpu are always 100% but the process of mcnp stays at 20000000 ; But if I set nps=50000000 and 35 threads , there will be normal. Anyone knows why?

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had any good tips on debugging mcnp geometry? I'm an intermediate user working on better understanding the program. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that go beyond simply reading the manual?
