Is There an Issue with My MCNP Macro Definition Modeling?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights concerns about the visibility of macro definitions in MCNP modeling when viewed in Vised. Users are encouraged to verify the placement of each cell and ensure that macro bodies do not overlap unexpectedly. It is important to check the origin settings in Vised to confirm that cells are positioned correctly. Additionally, users should review the manual for guidance on the intended configuration of macro bodies, especially when they are at angles. Proper debugging and understanding of the model setup are essential for accurate results.

I use macro definition to model the results can be viewed in vised but vised does not display all the big guy know? Is there something wrong with my modeling?

To debug these things, ask yourself, where should each cell be? Do the macro bodies overlap the way you think they do? Where should cell 1 in your model be? If you set the origin in vised to that location, is there a cell there?

You have a bunch of macro bodies at angles. Are you sure that's what you want? Be sure to carefully read the manual to be sure that you are getting what you want.

Thread 'MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly'

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...

Thread 'Beginner Seeking Help: MCNP6 Burnup Example (OECD-NEA Benchmark)'

Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner with MCNP and trying to learn how to perform burnup calculations. Right now, I'm feeling a bit lost and not sure where to start. I found the OECD-NEA Burnup Credit Calculational Criticality Benchmark (Phase I-B) and was wondering if anyone has worked through this specific benchmark using MCNP6? If so, would you be willing to share your MCNP input file for it? Seeing an actual working example would be incredibly helpful for my learning. I'd be really...
