Input Simulation

AI Thread Summary

Users are discussing challenges with modifying input files in VisEd for MCNP6 simulations. The primary issue is the inability to save changes directly within VisEd, requiring users to edit input files in a separate text editor before reopening them in VisEd. This workflow complicates the process of understanding how modifications to cards impact simulations. Participants are seeking solutions or workarounds to streamline this process. Effective management of input files is crucial for efficient simulation adjustments in MCNP6.

TL;DR Summary: modify the charge file directly in Vised

I'm beginning in Vised for MCNP6 and i want to modify my imput file inside vised to understand how when i changed cards this affects the simulation. The problem is that i can't save inside vised my imput file, i have to open my imput file in an editor text an then reopen this file in vised.
Thanks in advance
NB: my screen shot show where i want to modify my imput and then start a new simulation

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...
