This is a very hands on workshop with plenty of detailed practical examples helping me to progress significantly further than I thought I would in just one week. Much of this progress should be attributed to Randy, the workshop tutor. His teaching style is excellent, the depth of knowledge he has is remarkable and he took the time to clearly explain concepts if they were not understood by all. VisEd is a incredible tool for MCNP users and I would recommended this workshop to anyone wishing to learn more about MCNP/VisEd, regardless of their experience. Thanks Randy for a fantastic workshop!

Workshop Description

Participants MUST get MCNP/MCNPX from RSICC prior to the class or must be on the MCNPX approved beta users list.  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 (CCC-740) from RSICC or the NEA.  The MCNP5/MCNPX code is created by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and is not part of the Visual Editor.

All participants must have a valid copy of the MCNP5/MCNPX code obtained from RSICC or the NEA 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.  Beta versions will only be available to participants that have a valid MCNP/MCNPX RSICC license.

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 interrogating input files with the Visual Editor. 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.
