Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around troubleshooting an error encountered in the Vised software while creating repeated structures for a hexagonal aluminum container filled with cylindrical rods. The focus is on the definitions of geometrical shapes and their materials within the software.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes the setup involving a hexagonal aluminum container and cylindrical rods, indicating issues with defining the geometry and materials.
  • Another participant requests clarification on the nature of the error and the software, asking for a screenshot of the error message.
  • A participant confirms that Vised is a visual editor and mentions additional problems related to defining a rectangular plate that exceeds the dimensions of the container.
  • A later post suggests that the error may stem from overlapping geometries, where multiple parts are trying to occupy the same space.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express uncertainty about the specific cause of the error, with some suggesting potential issues while others seek more information. There is no consensus on the resolution of the problem.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes missing details about the definitions and parameters used in the software, as well as the specific error messages encountered. The complexity of the geometrical definitions and their interactions remains unresolved.

I need help with creating repeated structures.
I have a hexagonal aluminium container, inside of which i need to put cylindrical rods. I defined a rod and its cladding and air surrounding it, as universe=5 then i defined another hexagonal surface with 0 material but fill=5 and i define this hexagonal cell as universe =4 and lat=2 then i defined another bigger hexagonal, a certain part of the above mentioned hexagonal aluminium container with 0 material but fill=4... But in vised the latter container is shown as red so error. Please help me :(

Perhaps you can post a screen shot of where the error is shown and what the error text says.

What is vised? a visual editor? is this the name of the software you are using?

Hi. Yes, vised stands for visual editor.
Now i have two problems. One is i defined 2 hex because the hexagonal container has a thickness. At the end of the body, i added a plate , but the plate is rectangular, i defined by 2 px and 2 py and the z but the part which is larger than the container is in red so it is not defined in a correct way.

To define the last plate,
Cell n. Mat. n -2.7 510 -51 10 -119

Sutface: 119
Rpp -17.5 17.5 -17.5 17.5 63.3 63.8
But no way
Thanks for your reply
 
So your error is related to two or more parts trying to occupy the same space?
