Solve MCNP Error in Vised: Repeated Structures

    Error Mcnp
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around creating repeated structures within a hexagonal aluminum container containing cylindrical rods. The user encounters an error in the visual editor, "vised," where a defined hexagonal cell appears in red, indicating a problem with the definition. The issues stem from defining two hexagonal shapes due to the container's thickness and a rectangular plate that extends beyond the container's boundaries. There is a suggestion that the error may be due to overlapping parts trying to occupy the same space. Clarification on the correct definitions and adjustments is sought to resolve these issues.

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?
 
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...
