Description
At the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), we are exploring the application of Unstructured Mesh (UM) MCNP methodologies for various computational challenges, including the enhancement of shielding calculations. We work with a complex and detailed Target-Moderator-Reflector-Shielding (TMRS) geometry. Our analysis evaluates the impact of UM granularity on computation time and the quality of results in different calculation scenarios. We present the conversion from complex CAD designs to MCNP UM geometry and assess the computational costs associated with diverse computational strategies and versions of MCNP.
