MT2VTK: A tool for converting MCNP mesh tally to VTK mesh file

version 0.2.8

updates: the mesh boundary problem has been solved. Version 0.2.7 used cell-center to produce the mesh, and data is located at the nodes. It results in inconsistency when plotting together with the geometry. Current verison 0.2.8 produces meshes exactly like MCNP mesh tally setup, and the data is located in the cell-center. To plot the contour line in ParaView, you need to locate the data from cell to nodes. This can be done by using the filter "Cell date to point data".

MeshTally to VTK for MS Windows (tested on Win 7)

!!! RECTANGULAR MESHES ONLY !!!

Supported Data Format: COL, IJ, IK, JK CF will work, but the addidional information will not be processed

About:

mt2vtk reads a meshtally file generated by MCNP. One can drag and drop a mesh tally file onto the executable or call mt2vtk from the command line (cmd) passing the mesh tally file as argument.

After reading the input file all available mesh tally data are displayed in the command line window.

Available Options:

Options

    1 ... write all tallies and errors to vtk files
    2 ... write selection of tallies and errors to vtk files
    3 ... load further tally file
    4 ... multiply tally by a given factor
    5 ... perform operation between tallies/spectra
    7 ... list tally information
    0 ... exit program

libraries used:

boost 1.47

Compiled with Visual Studio Express 2010 on a Windows 7 box

Changes to previous version: + implementation of geometry scaling

Build under Unix:

  1. install required libraries (1.1 install cmake Version >= 2.6)
  2. cd to source directory and "mkdir build" directory
  3. enter build directory and "cmake .."
  4. "make"
