OpenMC on SoftFission
OpenMC is the first code supported on SoftFission. This page gives a short overview of the code, explains how it fits the SoftFission workflow, and includes license and attribution information. It may later also become the home for starter examples and reusable project templates.
What OpenMC is
A short introduction for users who are new to the code.
OpenMC is a Monte Carlo particle transport code used in reactor-physics and nuclear-engineering workflows. In practice, users prepare model inputs, run calculations, and inspect results such as tallies and derived quantities.
SoftFission does not try to replace the official OpenMC documentation. Instead, it provides a more structured environment for preparing inputs, reserving compute time, launching runs, and storing results in a personal workspace.
Why SoftFission starts with OpenMC
The first supported code should fit the platform’s operational model.
Workflow on SoftFission
The typical path from project creation to results.

Examples and starter models
This section can later become the home for reusable templates and benchmark-style starter cases.
Examples will appear here later
A future version of this page can include starter OpenMC projects, example inputs, and reusable model templates.
