[MCNPX] How to run an entire folder?

[Alexander Camargo]

I know that "mcnpx n=filename" I run the file, but how do I run the entire folder with the entries inside?

I don't *think* any of the mcnp programs will do that. It's fairly trivial to write a batch file, either for windows or linux to do the job and clean up the run files. Which OS?

Hi, thanks for replying. That was the conclusion I came to. I wanted the method I mentioned because I have more than 12 thousand simulations to do. I renamed them all and used the same batch method.

That is the kind of use case WORM was created for, but it doesn't run mcnp/x or extract the results, it just creates the input files. I found some example stuff in python that will edit an input file, run mcnp, in this case 6 and extract the result here - https://www.justanswer.com/computer-programming/gfgmq-again-thank-again-excellent-help-think.html
If you have 12k problems, maybe this is worth automating at this level.

Thanks a lot for the help. I automate my entries with notepad++ using macros and "advanced renamer" for the different names of each file. I already put the 12k input to simulate, now just wait about 100 hours. hahaha
