Description
This contribution aims to give users an update on the MCPL and NCrystal projects. These two open source projects, both maintained by the Modelling group at the ESS DMSC, aim to facilitate integration and collaboration between users of various Monte Carlo transportation codes. MCPL enables the interchange of particle states between codes, while NCrystal provides an ambitious backend for shared material models. The presentation will discuss the two projects, how they are used in e.g. McStas, as well as update on recent developments.
