To calculate dose using mesh tally in MCNPX, set up a cylinder and divide it into smaller sections perpendicular to the z-axis. The user needs to include the DOSE keyword and options after "CMESH1:n" as specified in the MCNP6 manual, but for MCNPX, refer to section 5.6.22.2 of the MCNPX 2.5.0 manual for guidance. Additionally, searching for "TRACK-AVERAGED MESH TALLY" in the manual can provide further details. The user is encouraged to verify their setup and ensure all necessary parameters are included for accurate dose calculations. Proper configuration is essential for effective dose recording in the simulation.

Hello,guys,
I wonder how to use mesh tally to calculate dose.I set a cylinder，and set the material of the cylinder.Then I want to divide a cylinder into smaller cylinders in a direction perpendicular to the z-axis.And I need to record the flux of each mesh,use dedf card to get dose.
I have tried to write a little bit, please help to see if it is correct and what needs to be added?
The radius of big cylinder is 7cm,length of it is 10cm,the radius of little cylinder is 7cm,too,the length of little cylinder is 1mm.

Hi,
after "CMESH1:n" you must put the keyword DOSE and the options (int iu and fact)
see 3.3.5.24.2 of the MCNP6 version 1.0 manual,

Thank you!However,I don't have MCNP6.I'm using MCNPX,and could you tell me more details?
Thank you very much!
 
Hi
in MCNPX 2.5.0 manual (LA-CP-05-0369) see 5.6.22.2
For an another version of MCNPX try to search "TRACK-AVERAGED MESH TALLY" in the manual
 

Thread 'Geometry modeling of an X-ray Irradiator'

Hello, I am designing an X-ray irradiator with MCNP simulation. But I am still in confusion, whether my X-ray housing will be a box or a cylinder. If the box (macrobody identifier of MCNP) is required, I am trying to match the dimension as that of the cylinder, i,e, the height will be that of the cylinder height, and the other two dimensions will be that of the radius of the cylinder (surface 52 and 53). Can anybody please help me define the surfaces? Below is my attached text file. Forgot...
