PyMCNP

PyMCNP supports running Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) simulations. It parses MCNP files, enabling automation such as parameter scans, creates MCNP geometry visualization using cadquery, and can run MCNP in parallel across multiple machines (including support for clusters). PyMCNP provides a Python API for MCNP input and output files and a command line interface for interacting with MCNP and MCNP files.
