Luke, I fixed a few bugs for 3D FIDASIM, please have a look. The spectra and NPA outputs are fine with these changes, but the neutron rate is a bit off. I am using nphi = 10 and phi bounds = [4pi/3, 5pi/3]. Below are my results.

test neutron rate = 5.9759e+14 neutrons/s

test3D_np10 neutron rate = 8.9640e+13 neutrons/s

ratio = 6.6665549

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks.

was the test case using the same phi bounds? if not then the neutron rate would be for the range phi=[0,2pi) and you would expect the neutron rate to be about 1/6 the test rate.

Yes, my concern is that there is a small discrepancy and it is off by about 0.67. I varied nphi and n_pfida and the rate did not change. The flux comparisons improved, however, as one would expect.
