Monte Carlo radiation transport codes track particles as they travel
through a geometric model, interacting with materials based on
probability. In this project, we replace the Monte Carlo's CSG-based
geometry input and modeling with a modern CAD geometry engine.
Geometric models can be constructed in modern CAD tools, with the
Monte Carlo code evaluating geometry by making direct calls to the
integrated CAD engine.
This work is based primarily on the CGM geometry engine and the MCNPX Monte Carlo radiation transport code. However, since most of this functionality is generic geometry functionality, we have also successfully demonstrated this capability in the ITS and Penelope Monte Carlo codes.
