Hi, I need assistance in performing statistical checks in MCNP5 i.e print table 160. I am not sure where the PRINT card should be placed and the format of it. I am using F4mesh tallies
Stephan_doc said:Hello to everybody, i need help from MCNP users.
How i can to plot color legend for tally mesh problems (i.e neutron flux distribution, energy deposition, and so on).
Thank you!

Help with MCNP6 installation.
I am currently getting the following error in my output.
"bad trouble in subroutine ffetch of xact
cannot find xs library file specified in xsdir "
I have installed MCNP6 before and had the same error. I can't remember how i fixed it.
MCNP5 is a Monte Carlo simulation code used for analyzing the transport of particles through matter. It is commonly used in the field of nuclear engineering and physics to model radiation shielding and radiation effects. Statistical checks in MCNP5 refer to the process of validating the results of a simulation by comparing them to known data or experimental results.
There are several types of statistical checks that can be performed in MCNP5, including variance reduction techniques, tally convergence checks, and sensitivity analysis. Other common statistical checks include comparing mean values and standard deviations of simulation results to known data, and performing statistical hypothesis tests to determine the significance of differences between simulated and experimental data.
MCNP5 has the capability to incorporate uncertainty in statistical checks through the use of random number generators and statistical sampling methods. This allows for the simulation of a large number of particle histories, resulting in more accurate and reliable statistical checks.
Yes, MCNP5 has the ability to automate statistical checks through the use of scripting languages such as Python or Perl. This allows for the efficient and consistent execution of statistical checks on large sets of simulation data.
While MCNP5 is a powerful tool for performing statistical checks, there are some limitations to be aware of. These include the need for a thorough understanding of the simulation process and its underlying assumptions, as well as the potential for bias in the results due to the use of random number generators. Additionally, the accuracy of statistical checks may be limited by the quality and quantity of experimental data available for comparison.
