Why do I always get 0 values in the radiation part? (MCNP5)

[Alex A]

What options are you choosing? The file is written about half way through a lot of questions when I try it.

 

[emilmammadzada]

mcnp5 doesn't have many options for me, gridconv.exe asks for input file name and then output file name. It asks if it's binary.

 

[PSRB191921]

In gridconv, at the question "Enter name of input file" you must put the mdata file (binary file) and not the mcnp file. To create mdata file you must run the input file (for example SPCr.txt in post 15) with mcnp and the mdata will be create (mdata or mdatb or mdatc or ...).
hope it's help.

Should mdata and gridconv be in the same folder?

 

[PSRB191921]

no gridconv in in the bin folder and mdata in the files folder

 

[emilmammadzada]

no gridconv in in the bin folder and mdata in the files folder

I got such error in separate folder.mdata and gridconv are in separate folders

 

[PSRB191921]

first you can run mcnp :
MCNP6 i=SPCr.txt o=SPCr.o mdata=meshbinary
second run gridconv
at the question "Enter name of input file" put "meshbinary"
at the question "what do you want to name your file" put "meshascii.txt"
Normally a file name meshascii.txt is created: it is the result !

The application gave an error again

 

[PSRB191921]

you must bin in 32 bits try meshbin instead of meshbinary (too long)

 

[emilmammadzada]

it was the same again

 

[PSRB191921]

what is your input file ?

 

[emilmammadzada]

This

 

[PSRB191921]

strange no problem for me

 

[emilmammadzada]

Could the method be different in mcnp5?

 

[PSRB191921]

and if you run
MCNP5 i=spc.txt o=spc.o

 

[emilmammadzada]

Now it's been like this

 

[PSRB191921]

of course ! MCNP5 does not transport proton !
you must try with MCNPX or MCNP6 !

 

[emilmammadzada]

Unfortunately I don't have mcnp6 (

 

[PSRB191921]

so you can't. Only MCNPX or MCNP6 can transport protons

 

[emilmammadzada]

so you can't. Only MCNPX or MCNP6 can transport protons

I was just starting the mcnp application. So I don't have much information about the application and I wanted to learn.(

 

[emilmammadzada]

so you can't. Only MCNPX or MCNP6 can transport protons

I wrote mcnpx instead of mcnp5, something like this happened

 

[PSRB191921]

yes it will be ok because MCNPX transports proton

 

[emilmammadzada]

yes it will be ok because MCNPX transports proton

Now which app is mine mcnp5 or mcnpx?))

 

[PSRB191921]

both

 

[emilmammadzada]

both

I wish I could solve this gridconv problem too, it would be great for me

 

[Alex A]

I think that has been solved. Before you were putting your input file into gridconv, not the mdata file produced by mcnpx. It is fine to put the mdata file in the same directory as gridconv.exe but if the exe is in your bin directory with mcnpx.exe it should work. You must be in the directory where the mdata file is before you run gridconv.

Edit,
At the point gridconv asks 'Do you wish to continue?' you can hit enter for 'no' because at that point the text file has been created. Then you can hit return again to exit the program.

yes the app worked correctly.

 

[emilmammadzada]

yes the app worked correctly.

Thank you very much for helping me on these matters.
