Workshop Description
Participants MUST get MCNP/MCNPX from RSICC prior to the class. Currently, RSICC has waived the cost-recovery fee and you can get it at no cost. Bring proof of ownership to the workshop.
The Visual Editor is a Graphical User Interface for MCNPX. The Visual Editor is provided at no cost, but participants must get the MCNP5/MCNPX package from RSICC. This package is currently being distributed for free.
All participants must have a valid copy of the MCNP5/MCNPX code obtained from RSICC because the Visual Editor will not run without the MCNP5/MCNPX cross sections contained in this package and both MCNP5/MCNPX and the Visual Editor are export controlled. For more information on obtaining MCNP/MCNPX and the Visual Editor, Click Here.
This workshop will be taught using the most recent (beta) version of the Visual Editor Code.
The workshop combines teaching on MCNP physics, along with instructions on how to use the Visual Editor. Computer demonstrations and exercises will focus on creating and displaying input files with the Visual Editor. Exercises in creating MCNP geometries including lattices and universes will be covered along with details on how to create complex sources. Demonstrations of advanced visualization work using MCNP will also be made. Participants are encouraged to bring their own input files for viewing and modifying in the visual editor.
Computers are provided with one student per computer. Participants are also welcome to bring their own laptop and take the workshop on their own system. For a more detailed course description, click here.
