How Can I Parse MCNP Output Files in MATLAB?

[WWYY]

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?
