AI Thread Summary

FMESH currently supports only Cartesian and cylindrical geometries, with no updates indicating support for spherical coordinates. Users are inquiring about the potential for FMESH to accommodate spherical geometry, particularly in relation to the TMESH tally. The discussion references a related post that may provide further insights into the limitations and functionalities of FMESH. As of now, the capabilities of FMESH remain unchanged. Further clarification from the developers may be needed for future updates.

According to the manual FMESH only supports Cartesian or cylindrical geometry has there been any update to this or is that it?

Yes, I am using the TMESH tally. I was curious as to the FMESH would also work in spherical coordinates.

Thread 'Energy Spectrum Attenuation'

Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
