hi how can i install mcpl in win 10 via cmake, knowing i will want to convert mcnp code to mcstas. thanks

willend commented 5 years ago

Hi @eddymaoui,

The last few releases of McStas actually contains precompiled versions of the relevant MCPL tools, so this is what is generally recommended.

Also please note that no conversion of MCNP “code” is involved, and what MCPL can be used for is transfer of neutron events between the two (and other) codes.

hi @willend yes, I know that there are MCPL tools like source for example (mcpl_input) embedded in mcstas. I want to use the mcnp file as a source for a diffraction system in mcstas, like that 1) mcnp-->mcpl 2) mcpl-->mcstas but I found the problem when installing mcpl in Windows 10. using the steps described in Building via CMake

As I remember (at least from McStas 2.5) the ssw2mcpl tool is included, which is all you need:

Simply include an SSW card in your MCNP deck and convert to MCPL via the ssw2mcpl included in your McStas installation.

As can be seen in the below screenshot, ssw2mcpl is indeed included in McStas 2.5 on Windows. - And what it can do is as mentioned a conversion between MCNP "source surface" data and MCPL.

hi @willend i need an example of a mcnp file to test the ssw2mcpl tool. thanks

Hi @eddymaoui . To avoid any licensing concerns regarding MCNP, we in general refrain from providing users with such files in the scope of the MCPL project.

Also, wouldn't it be fair to say that if you can't produce your own MCNP output, then you won't really need ssw2mcpl :-)
