Hello all, I'm a senior Nuclear Engineering student.

This semester I've been working with DANTSYS and MCNP (more like failing to learn properly). I was wondering if anyone had some experience with either program and would be willing to allow me to ask them the occasional question. I think my major problem with the programs are how finicky they are and dyslexia missing some small little typo or something like that causing the code to fail.

I do have the main famous DANTSYS primer from LANL, but would love to be able to show someone my codes to see if I can find my errors.

Dear Kevin
Are you working on the code or using the code?
If you are using the code then there is good manual on mcnp.
Best wishes
 
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...
