Hello Every body,

I hope all is well.

I have a problem with MCNP code for 1/8 AP1000, so please can anybody help me ?

Regrads
 
Are we supposed to guess what the problem is ?

the problem that I repeat a lattice but VISED didn't fill all of it in materials, and there is some red lines I don't know why.

zaidtaher,

You need to leave 5 position before each continuation cards,
6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 $ROW 1
change for
(5 spaces) 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 $ROW 1
If you add the spaces in all the lattices and material continuation cards it runs.

I tried it, but it's already 6 spaces, but i loosed the format when I put it here, btw it's does not work
Thanks for help :)
 
Zaidtaher,

You have a problem with importance definition, I just specify the importance for each cell, that give me no fatal error. You still have to check, volumes and materials.

Dear,

It didn't work either :/

if there a way to send the input file to you it's will be easier

you just put it on VISED and will take the proper format.

Thanks for the file, but the problem is that the VISED didn't color all of the assemblies, and so the code will not run
 
  • #13
you something I have been here for about month and I can't find what's wrong,, please help me
 
  • #14
Zaidther,

What you want us to check is not so easy, try to run the inner universes alone first and then then the filled ones and hopefully you will find where is the problem.
