Export energy distribution to ANSYS

You should consider the bnn.lis file. There energy deposition density values [GeV/cm^3 per primary proton] are listed row-by-row, with no explicit info on x/y/z. The first value refers to the first bin of the mesh (i=1,j=1,k=1), where i,j,k are the bin index in x/y/z. Then i is looping first, j second and k last. In your case, the first 200 values (in the first 20 rows) refer to j=k=1 (-100<y,z<-99), with i running from 1 (-100<x<-99) to 200 (99<x<100), and so forth. Note that on the transvers…

In your case, you will get 2,727,090 rows with 10 values each, and one additional row with the remaining value. The first 30 rows and the first value of the following row are (i,1,1) with i=1,301. The remaining 9 values of the 31st row, the following 29 rows, and the first two values of the row #61 are (i,2,1) with i=1,301. Finally, the last value (i.e. the first and only one of the row #2,727,091) and the preceding 30 rows are (i,301,301) with i=1,301.
