Detector-like component writing neutron state parameters to a virtual source neutron file with MCNP/PTRAC format. The component geometry is the full plane, and saves the neutron state as it exits from the previous component. Format is the one used by MCNP 5 files :
position_X position_Y position_Z dir_X dir_Y dir_Z energy weight time
energy is in Mega eV positions are in cm and the direction vector is normalized to 1.
%BUGS This component will NOT work with parallel execution (MPI).
EXAMPLE: To create a file collecting all neutron states with MCNP5 format COMPONENT fichier_sortie = Virtual_mcnp_output( filename = "exit_guide_result.dat") at the position where will be the Virtual_mcnp_input.
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
