Hi all,

any suggestion for a tool to load geometry.xml file in order to visualize it?

Preferably: a webtool, or free and simple.

Thanks,

Matheus

Hi Matheus,

We do not have a webtool, but we do have free and relatively simple. OpenMC has built-in plotting capabilities of the geometry; this capability is not interactive like MCNP’s iplot, but it is definitely useful. You can read about it here: [http://mit-crpg.github.io/openmc/usersguide/input.html#geometry-plotting-specification-plots-xml](http://mit-crpg.github.io/openmc/usersguide/input.html#geometry-plotting-specification-plots-xml)

Let me know if you have any more questions,  
Adam
