MCNP: mesh with weight window generator

Click For Summary
A user is inquiring about the feasibility of defining a fine mesh in specific parts of a geometry when using a mesh-based weight window generator in MCNP. They seek to create different binning configurations based on variable conditions, such as specific ranges of x and y coordinates. The user notes that the documentation does not provide guidance on this topic, as most examples focus on independent three-axis mesh configurations. It is suggested that they seek assistance from the MCNP mailing list, which is accessible to registered license holders and offers a community of experienced users and developers. Engaging with this community may provide the necessary insights for their specific mesh configuration needs.

TL;DR
Is there the possibility in MCNP, when using the mesh-based-weight window generator, to define the fine mesh in one direction (x for example), only for an interval of the other direction (between y1 and y2 for example)?
Hallo everybody,
I am using a mesh-based-weight window generator. It is clear to me that the coarse mesh must cover the full geometry; my doubt is about the fine mesh. Is it possible to define the fine mesh only in a part of a geometry, for example telling to MCNP to make 5 bins between y1 and y2 ONLY IF x is between x1 and x2 and a different y binning if x is elsewhere?
I found nothing similar in the documentation; all the examples of mesh I saw are for three axis, independently one from the other.
Thanks for the help.

I wish I could help, but weight window is one of the features of MCNP I have not worked with.

Possibly you could get some help on the MCNP mailing list maintained by RSICC. You need to be a registered license holder to get on that mailing list. But once you are on, you can get the attention of a very large community of MCNP users. Including the developers of the program at times.
 
Hello, I am designing an X-ray irradiator with MCNP simulation. But I am still in confusion, whether my X-ray housing will be a box or a cylinder. If the box (macrobody identifier of MCNP) is required, I am trying to match the dimension as that of the cylinder, i,e, the height will be that of the cylinder height, and the other two dimensions will be that of the radius of the cylinder (surface 52 and 53). Can anybody please help me define the surfaces? Below is my attached text file. Forgot...
