AI Thread Summary
The user is experiencing issues generating cross-section data from a HELIOS output file using the GENPMAXS code, as it gets stuck on "reading Cross-section data." Suggestions for resolving this issue include checking the new GENPMAXS site at the University of Michigan, as the link provided leads to an outdated Purdue site. The new site offers support options, including an email for direct assistance. Users are encouraged to reach out for help regarding the preparation of the XS file for PARCS. Seeking support from the updated resources may provide the necessary guidance to resolve the problem.

TL;DR Summary
PARCS, GENPMAXS, XS
hello everybody
i have PARCS code and XS generator GENPMAXS. I am trying to generate XS from HELIOS output file (example output file given with GENPMAXS code).
i am unable to do it. everytime it shows "reading Cross-section data" and do nothing.
anybody working on that code, kindly give me some suggestions for preparation of XS file for PARCS.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

I can't answer your question directly, but the link you gave points to the old Purdue site.
You may want to look at the new site at Michigan:

There is an e-mail on the webpage to send support questions.
 

Thread 'MCNP6 BURN Card Issue: Zero Burnup for Material in Fuel Assembly'

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...

Thread 'Beginner Seeking Help: MCNP6 Burnup Example (OECD-NEA Benchmark)'

Hi everyone, I'm a complete beginner with MCNP and trying to learn how to perform burnup calculations. Right now, I'm feeling a bit lost and not sure where to start. I found the OECD-NEA Burnup Credit Calculational Criticality Benchmark (Phase I-B) and was wondering if anyone has worked through this specific benchmark using MCNP6? If so, would you be willing to share your MCNP input file for it? Seeing an actual working example would be incredibly helpful for my learning. I'd be really...
