Re: [fluka-discuss]: How to make the results from userBDX match with userTrack

Hello
USRTRACK and USRBDX measure two different quantities, they cannot be the
same.
USRTRACK measures particle fluence WITHIN the region specified in input.
USRBDX measures particle fluence AT THE BOUNDARY between two regions
specified in the input. (by the way in your input the second region is not
defined, thus the default is taken, which is region number 2, VOID. )
Depending on the setup, these two can be very different.
In addition, you are asking current instead of fluence for the BDX.
Hope this helps
