To all Please accept my apologies if this topic isn’t within the guidelines of OPENMC. I haven’t been able to find a forum for the MCNPy application. I was trying to use the MCNPy tools to convert an MCNP6 input file into OPENMC. The function that I was trying to use is: mcnpy.translate\_mcnp\_openmc.mcnp\_to\_openmc I am using MCNP 6.3 on a Windows platform. I am running the latest version of Ubuntu on a WSL2 environment. I have OPENMC and MCNPY installed into the same Conda environment. I just installed OPENMC, so I should have the latest version. I am loosely using an example from the MCNPy site to try to convert an existing MCNP6 input file named room.mcnp. I am using ANACONDA-NAVIGATOR to enter and test the input. Below is the input and response of A-N. Thank you for your time and consideration.
