MCNP Help: 10 Particles Lost

Click For Summary
The discussion addresses a geometry error in MCNP when attempting to plot neutron and photon flux from radiation sources. The error message indicates that ten particles were lost due to a "no cell found" issue. A suggested solution is to remove the calculation point at the origin (0,0,0) to resolve the error. The user is advised to adjust the F5 and F15 commands accordingly to ensure proper execution of the code. This adjustment aims to facilitate successful plotting of flux as the source locations are moved further away.

In my intro class, I am trying to design for radiation sources. Currently, I am trying to plot the flux from neutron and photon source locations progressively moving further and further away, however the code is not running and it says "geometry error: no cell found run terminated because 10 particles got lost."

Hi,
you are trying to calculate an F5 (and F15) at (0,0,0) where your neutrons are emitted. Try to remove this calculation point, like this :
F5:N 10 0 0 1
20 0 0 1
30 0 0 1
40 0 0 1
50 0 0 1
60 0 0 1
70 0 0 1
80 0 0 1
90 0 0 1
100 0 0 1
110 0 0 1
120 0 0 1
130 0 0 1
140 0 0 1
150 0 0 1
 
Thread 'Why wasn’t gravity included in the potential energy for this problem?'
I’m looking at the attached vibration problem. The solution in the manual includes the spring potential energy but does NOT include the gravitational potential energy of the hanging mass. Can someone explain why gravitational potential energy is not included when deriving the equation of motion? I tried asking ChatGPT but kept going in circles and couldn't figure out. Thanks!
