Parsing MCNP output files, specifically the MCTAL file, can be challenging due to its ASCII format. Users are seeking MATLAB code to facilitate this process, as direct reading of the MCTAL file is difficult. It is noted that if one understands the ASCII format, MATLAB can read these files using appropriate functions. A member has previously shared a solution for this issue, indicating a community resource available for assistance. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the need for effective methods to handle MCNP output files in MATLAB.

Hello! I am really glad to find this forum!

I was wondering if anyone has a MATLAB code to parse the MCNP output file MCTAL? I did some Lattice simulation but it seemed hard to read the MCTAL file directly..

Best regards

I'm not familiar with MATLAB, but as far as I can tell, .mctal files are ASCII format, so if one knows the format, one should be able to read the files into MATLAB with whatever function reads an ASCII-format file.

A member here apparently has done that.

How do others read ASCII files with MATLAB?
