    MCNP is run by specifying an input file, which contains the problem definition. MCNP then creates output files containing results of the simulation. The execution is controlled using option flags that can set the input file name, select processing modules for input, transport, plotting, and more. Multiple options can be combined in any order.

    HOW TO RUN MCNP

    FILES (default names)

    INP problem input specification (provided by user)


    OUTP MC output file (created by MCNP)
    RUNTPE binary start-restart data (created by MCNP)

    default_file_name=newname

    Command to change default name of files (up to 8 characters)

    eg.
    mcnp6 inp=mcin outp=mcout runtpe=mcruntpe
    mcnp6 i=mcin o=mcout ru=mcruntpe

    OPTIONS

    Mnemonic
    i
    p
    x
    r
    z

    EXECUTION OPTIONS
    Module
    Operation
    IMCN
    Process problem input file
    PLOT
    Plot geometry
    XACT
    Process XS
    MCRUN
    Particle transport
    MCPLOT
    Plot tally results or XS data

    when omitted, default is ixr


    if more than one operation is desired, combine the single characters(in any order) to form
    a string
    i = look for input errors
    ip = debug geometry by plotting
    ixz = plot cross-section data
    z = plot tally results from RUNTPE or MCTAL files
