SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on using the VISED version of MCNP software to plot multiple tally curves on the same graph. Users can modify parameters in the materials section of the input file and then reread the tally to visualize different curves together. The participant seeks clarity on the process of updating input files and creating gamma/X-ray sources within VISED. The consensus emphasizes that understanding the input file modifications is crucial for effective simulation and visualization.
