Attila4MC® - CAD Integrated Calculation Setup, Variance Reduction, and Solution Visualization for MCNP®, with TurbOS Computing Demonstration by Hoonify

Attila4MC provides MCNP users with a GUI based environment to set up, run, and visualize MCNP unstructured mesh solutions from complex CAD geometries.

In this workshop, the new "real-world" CAD workflow in Attila4MC will be demonstrated on a complex shielding model. This workflow enables users to work directly from dirty CAD assemblies with hundreds or thousands of parts, and with "transport insignificant" part interferences, mostly eliminating the need for time consuming CAD cleanup and simplification. An integral part of this workflow is the Cottonwood Variance Reduction module, which performs "single click" CADIS and FW-CADIS variance reduction on complex models through an automatic arbitrary mesh refinement (AMR) deterministic solver.

The new Tamarack module will also be demonstrated. Tamarack provides MCNP constructive surface geometry (CSG) users with an intuitive GUI interface for building, editing, and viewing MCNP input decks. Tamarack can export translated CSG models to CAD using boundary spline surface representations in the STEP (*.stp) format, providing robust and flexible coupling with CAD.

Attendees will set up, run, and visualize a deep penetration shielding model starting from CAD. Attendees wishing to run Attila4MC should bring a Windows 10 or 11 laptop with at least 12 GB of RAM. Attendees wishing to also run MCNP must have MCNP 6.2.0 or 6.3.0 installed. Attendees are invited to bring their own CAD models (Parasolid® or ACIS® formats preferable), as the last half hour will include an optional open workshop allowing users to work through their own models with help from Silver Fir Software instructors.

In the last hour of the workshop, Hoonify will be demonstrating how TurbOS supports Silver Fir and MCNP users to run simulations on progressively more challenging models. TurbOS is Hoonify's unified, hardware-agnostic software platform that enables world-class Modeling and Simulation, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence on any CPU or GPU architecture. In radiation transport, TurbOS integrates the complete computational ecosystem, including operating systems, software libraries, CAD and meshing tools, variance-reduction methods, Monte Carlo codes, and advanced visualization and post-processing capabilities. With TurbOS and Silver Fir, scientists are able to use the right tools for the need without having to spend time learning new systems or standing up additional complex resources.

All attendees will receive a 1 month license of Attila4MC following the workshop. For any questions regarding the workshop, contact support@silverfirsoftware.com. For more information on Attila4MC and Tamarack, visit www.silverfirsoftware.com.
