Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around plotting mesh tallies in MCNP, specifically addressing issues faced by a user named Carla. The scope includes technical explanations and assistance related to the use of MCNPX software for plotting purposes.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- Carla reports difficulties in plotting her mesh tally using both vised and promt, seeking insights from others.
- One participant suggests that mesh tallies in MCNPX or higher versions require the use of gridconv to create a dat file, followed by plotting with Tecplot.
- Another participant asks if the tally mechanism is defined in the MCNPX platform, indicating a potential area of confusion or inquiry.
- A later reply advises the participant to start a new thread for their question rather than adding it to an existing thread, requesting more context about their knowledge and attempts.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
The discussion does not appear to reach a consensus, as multiple participants raise different questions and suggestions without resolving the initial query or confirming the tally mechanism's definition.
Contextual Notes
There is a lack of clarity regarding the specific steps or requirements for plotting mesh tallies, as well as the definitions and functionalities of tally mechanisms within the MCNPX platform.
