AI Thread Summary

Defining FLIBE as a target in Geant4 can be challenging, especially for users struggling with the complexity of the software. The TestEm11 example defaults to G4_Si, which may not be suitable for FLIBE. Users are encouraged to refer to the provided documentation on defining new materials from elemental compositions. Understanding the process of material definition is crucial for accurate simulations. Mastering these steps will enhance the effectiveness of particle transport simulations in Geant4.

I find GEANT4 really really difficult to follow, but the material seems to be set to G4_Si in TestEm11.in

That document seems to describe how to define a new material from the elements.

Thread 'MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly'

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...
