AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling a 300x300x300 cm room in MCNP, specifically addressing issues with cell definitions in the Z plane. The original input deck was shared, and a suggestion was made to simplify the geometry for easier debugging. It was noted that the intersections on the left needed additional brackets to apply correctly to all union blocks. A revised version of the input deck was provided, which is believed to resolve the issue. The thread highlights the importance of proper syntax in MCNP geometry definitions for successful modeling.

TL;DR Summary
MCNP cell definition help
Hello,

I'm attempting to model a 300x300x300 cm room in MCNP with a doorway and walk-in section, but I'm struggling with some of the cell definitions, particularly in the Z plane. I've attached the input deck below. It is fairly short, so it's probably going to be a relatively quick fix. Any help is appreciated.

Hello again!

More objects but simpler is often easier to debug.

Code:
5 0 -1 6 -7 (2 -10 -5 4) :(10 -3 4 -8) :(10 -3 9 -5) imp:p 1  $ room
I think you were expecting the intersections on the left to apply to all of the union blocks, but this needs extra brackets.
Code:
5 0 -1 6 -7 ((2 -10 -5 4) :(10 -3 4 -8) :(10 -3 9 -5)) imp:p 1  $ room

I think this fixes it.
 
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...
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...
