Hi Vladimir,
     OK, even if your are able to visualize the geometry correctly, a
GEOFAR error
usually indicates a problem in the geometry. In your case you have many
volumes and there
can be an accuracy problem in the definition of boundaries between them.
Inspecting the
.err file, you find for instance this message:

  Geofar: Particle in region     2 (cell #    0) in position
-1.000000000E-11  2.100900010E+01  6.253070334E-02
   is now causing trouble, requesting a step of  4.659204660E+01 cm
   to direction  1.000000000E+00  0.000000000E+00  0.000000000E+00,
error count:  0

   X*UOLD(2D):  0.000000000E+00 X*UOLD(3D):  0.000000000E+00 cm
   Kloop:          4, Irsave:      2, Irsav2:      2, error code: -3
Nfrom: *****
   old direction  0.000000000E+00  0.000000000E+00 0.000000000E+00,
lagain, lstnew, lsense, lsnsct  F  F  F  F
   Particle index    0 total energy   0.000000000E+00 GeV  Nsurf 0
  We succeeded in saving the particle:  current region is n.     4 (cell
#    0)

and see that FLUKA has problems in tracking particles from position XYZ
to direction ABC
by a step of S. The error position is given by the vector operation: XYZ
+ S * ABC.
You can do the following:

1. check the volume corresponding to the error position computed as above;
2. increase as much that you can the precision in the definition of your
geometry,
    switching maybe to free format (comma separated WHATs) to have more
than 10 digits precision;
3. reduce a bit WHAT(2) in GEOBEGIN (see manual): this is a parameter
used to define
    the boundaries position while tracking and in your case the default
might need to
    be readjusted;
4. activate the geometry debugger around the error point ith the GEOEND
card (see manual).

Hope this helps!
Andrea
