AI Thread Summary
To use Tally E with Fmesh in MCNP6, the energy values should be included in the EMESH= section of the FMESH4 definition. The correct format for FMESH4 in MCNP6 is as follows: FMESH4:P GEOM=REC ORIGIN=-550 -550 -1 IMESH=-50 IINTS=5 JMESH=550 JINTS=11 KMESH=799 KINTS=8 EMESH=0 200i 2. This structure mirrors the approach used in MCNP5, ensuring consistency between the two versions. Including the EMESH= section is essential for proper functionality. Following these guidelines will help in successfully implementing Fmesh in MCNP6.

Hello everyone,
I do need your help in this matter, please kindly help me solve this problem.
I use MCNP5 and i want to use Tally E with Fmesh.
I use Tally E and Fmesh this way with MCNP5.
Code:
F4:P,E 6
E4 0 200i 2
FMESH4:P GEOM=REC ORIGIN=-550 -550 -1
      IMESH=-50 IINTS=5
      JMESH=550 JINTS=11
      KMESH=799 KINTS=8
      EMESH=2
But I want to use Fmesh in MCNP6. I don't know how to write it.
Such as this.
Code:
FMESH4:P GEOM=REC ORIGIN=-550 -550 -1
      IMESH=-50 IINTS=5
      JMESH=550 JINTS=11
      KMESH=799 KINTS=8
E4 0 200i 2
Please, help me

Hi,

E4 would follow an F4 tally.
To do the same thing with an FMESH4, put the energy values you would put in an E4 into the EMESH= section which exists in your first example but is missing in your second.
Like this
Code:
FMESH4:P GEOM=REC ORIGIN=-550 -550 -1
      IMESH=-50 IINTS=5
      JMESH=550 JINTS=11
      KMESH=799 KINTS=8
      EMESH=0 200i 2

This is the same for MCNP5 and 6.
,
I hope this helps.

These are very helpful to me.
Thank you very much!
 
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...
