Mesh3 cards are suitable for measuring dosage in concrete and are specifically designed for MCNP simulations to accurately calculate radiation dose. Your friend's mention of mesh1 cards may be misleading, as they are primarily used for measuring neutron fluence rather than radiation dose. For clarity on usage, it's advisable to consult knowledgeable sources or explore online examples. Numerous resources exist that demonstrate the application of tmesh cards in MCNP simulations. Understanding the correct card type is essential for accurate dosage measurement in concrete.

When using tmesh cards to measure dosage in concrete, can mesh3 cards be used? My friend said it might be a mesh1 card but I can't use it. Can someone guide me? I want to look at examples

Yes, mesh3 cards can be used to measure dosage in concrete. These cards are specifically designed for use in MCNP simulations and can accurately calculate the radiation dose in different materials, including concrete. It is possible that your friend may have been referring to mesh1 cards, which are also commonly used in MCNP simulations. However, these cards are better suited for measuring neutron fluence rather than radiation dose. If you are unsure about which card to use, it is best to consult with a knowledgeable individual or refer to examples online. There are many resources available that provide examples of using tmesh cards in MCNP simulations for measuring dosage in concrete.
 
Thread 'Creating the geometry using MNCPX VisEd'
I'm working on the MSFR design and want to calculate keff. I'm trying to use the MNCPX VisEd program included with MCNP 6.1 to create my geometry. The reactor I'm designing doesn't contain fuel rods or moderator structures. The molten salt fuel circulates within the cylindrical reactor core. I'm having problems creating the geometry using MNCPX VisEd. VisEd allows for easy drawing of nested sphere, cylinder, or rectangular prism cells. However, when you want to draw a torus section within...
