Should mcpl2ssw set sign of ssb[10] for MCNP6? #11

Open tkittel opened 7 years ago

tkittel commented 7 years ago

For MCNP6 mcpl2ssw currently sets ssb[10] (cf. sswmcpl.c) to isurf. But when when we read ssw files, we take abs(ssb[10]) so it hints that perhaps we should fill some info into the sign of ssb[10] as well.

@EsbenKlinkby can you try to investigate that we are not missing something important by never setting the sign bit of ssb[10] when creating files for MCNP6.

@EsbenKlinkby any chance for feedback on this 2.5 year old issue? I guess we just assume the issue can be safely closed?
