A:

The Copy to clipboard failed message in AutoCAD can be caused by several factors, including:

  • Proxy objects: Proxy objects represent objects created in a third-party application and cannot be directly displayed in AutoCAD. When you try to copy a proxy object to the clipboard, AutoCAD may fail to do so.
  • Corrupt drawing files: If a drawing file is corrupt, AutoCAD may be unable to copy objects from it to the clipboard.
  • Corrupt AutoCAD user profiles: If your AutoCAD user profile is corrupt, AutoCAD may not be able to function properly, including the ability to copy objects to the clipboard.
  • Not enough free memory: There isn’t enough free memory to store the copied information. To increase the amount of free memory, close any applications that you aren’t currently using.

These tools typically work by:

  1. Exporting Inventor geometry to a neutral format like STEP or STL.
  2. Converting that geometry into MCNP-compatible input using a translator or mesh-to-cell converter.
  3. Generating MCNP input cards (cells, surfaces, materials) from the converted geometry.

Some known tools or workflows include:

  • SuperMC (from FDS Team, China): A powerful GUI-based tool that supports CAD-to-MCNP conversion.
  • MCAM (CAD/Image-based Automatic Modeling Program): Often used in nuclear engineering to convert CAD models into MCNP input.
  • Simple custom scripts: Some users write their own Python or MATLAB scripts to parse STL files and generate MCNP geometry.
