RE: Trackr common is full!!, increase the Mxtrck parameter

Dear Vasili,

Thank you very much for the explanation. But putting 1e-4 to WHAT(2)
is something I would prefer to avoid. I really would like to be able to
have double precision accuracy in my tracking under the magnetic field
and asking for a boundary accuracy of 1e-4 is not helping me. So, is
there another way to achive double precision in tracking?

Thank you again,
Makis

Dear Maki,

the problem was coming from the too small value set in WHAT(2) of
MGNFIELD. You have requested as upper limit for the boundary accuracy
1e-10cm during the tracking in the mangetic field. Therefore it was
forcing the code to make small steps to check for the boundary leading
to and overflow in the trackr common. Please increase the WHAT(2) e.g.
1e-4 and you will see that the message will disappear
FLUKA was displaying only the first ten messages in order not to flood
your output with such messages.

Regards
Vasilis

        Hello,

        I am trying to run a simple example and I get this message in the first
event of the err file. My questions
        1. Is it an error or a warning. It doesn't seem to influence the
result, but the fact that is written to the error file is worrying.
        2. Since only tracking is involved, shouldn't it be also produced in
the other events? Is it suppressed?
        3. How to avoid it? I thought that enlarging the maximum step in the
magnetic field was going to remove it, since the magnetic field region
was going to be passed in one step, but it isn't the case.
        4. changing the mxtrck parameter in the Trackr include module. It gives
an error in the linking.
        Thank you,
        Makis
