Testimonial

MCNP has needed a graphics interface for a long time. The Visual Editor provides this interface, and much, much more. The code displays geometry, of course, but can also be used to create geometry and display 3-D depictions of modeled objects with various color schemes. These features make the code and the training provided by the class essential to anyone who has wondered if an MCNP input file depicted the problem geometry accurately, assigned the materials to the right cells, and placed the sources properly. In addition, the code can plot tallies, and can plot points where source particles are created, where collisions occur, and where interactions that contribute to tallies take place. Such plots reveal phenomena like radiation streaming, and show which parts of the model contribute to tallies. Every MCNP user should acquire the Visual Editor and participate in the Visual Editor Consultants class. The gains in analytical power and productivity will far outweigh the expenditure of time and money.     - Carl Koizumi, September 2004 Visual Editor class.
