Tutorial: OpenMC neutronics simulations of CAD-based geometry using DAGMC and Coreform Cubit

Our webinar on using the new native integration of DAGMC into Coreform Cubit is now available for viewing. Previously available as a plugin to Coreform Cubit, DAGMC functionality is now natively available in Coreform Cubit, with improved meshing and export capabilities. DAGMC can be used to set up CAD-based neutronics simulations in OpenMC, MCNP, and other Monte Carlo solvers.

In this webinar, Dr. Patrick Shriwise from Argonne shows how to set up and run OpenMC simulations based on CAD using the Direct Accelerated Geometry Monte Carlo (DAGMC) functionality available in Coreform Cubit 2023.11. Dr. Shriwise showed example geometries from both nuclear fission and fusion.
