Can openmc do fixed source computing as described in the title? So I’m adding an external source to the whole model instead of the traditional fixed source, and if I can compute it, are there examples I can learn from? If not, why not? I hope someone can answer my questions. Thank you.
Hi lichw, welcome to the community.
I think you should check the examples from openmc documentation, there are various cases that could be tested and I hope some of them could be fitted to your case.
notebook entitled gamma detector (pulse height) could give you some glimpse of openmc pulse height feature for a fixed source calculation either by using a mono-energetic source or a photon source from Cs-137 decay.
If you have any specific cases, you might use them as keywords to search for another similar discussion in this forum. I hope some users have done it before so you can check it.
Thank you very much for your answer, which has benefited me a lot.
