AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on building a honeycomb structure in MCNP, where the user encounters an error stating "Lattice in cell 2 has no fill." The provided code includes definitions for a hexagonal lattice and various parameters, but the user seeks clarification on how to resolve the error. A referenced document addresses the issue but lacks details on the chosen surface. Suggestions include exploring the use of RHP or HEX in the input to potentially fix the problem. The conversation emphasizes the need for specific guidance on lattice filling in MCNP.

Hi,

I am trying to build a honeycomb structure in MCNP. The code is given below. Hexagonal lattice
1 0 -1 -19 29 fill=1 imp:n=1
2 1 -2.26 -10 11 -12 13 -14 15 u=1 lat=2 imp:n=1
3 0 1:19:-29 imp:n=0

1 c/z 50 50 200
19 pz 31
29 pz -31
10 px 1
11 px -1
12 p 1 1.7320508076 0 2
13 p -1 1.7320508076 0 2
14 p 1 1.7320508076 0 -2
15 p -1 1.7320508076 0 -2

m1 6012 1
sdef
f1:n 1
nps 2000

However, it keeps giving the error of "Lattice in cell 2 has no fill"

I have come across this document

https://permalink.lanl.gov/object/tr?what=info:lanl-repo/lareport/LA-UR-13-23338

which seems to address the problem, however, it does not give any information about the surface they chose.

Can anyone give suggestion to solve the issue?

Thank you in advance.

What type of system is one attempting to model/simulate? VVER?

Has one tried using RHP or HEX in input?

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a burnup calculation for a fuel assembly with repeated geometric structures using MCNP6. I have defined two materials (Material 1 and Material 2) which are actually the same material but located in different positions. However, after running the calculation with the BURN card, I am encountering an issue where all burnup information(power fraction(Initial input is 1,but output file is 0), burnup, mass, etc.) for Material 2 is zero, while Material 1...
