This report provides a Python script to convert an MCNP® ASCII unstructured mesh (UM) elemental edit output (EEOUT) file geometry and results to an ASCII XML-based unstructured mesh VTK (.vtu) file. The resulting VTK file can be directly visualized with applications such as ParaView and VisIt. This report also describes accompanying verification work that shows the script performing as required. However, users of the enclosed script must still verify that the script is behaving correctly for their own work.
