Re: FLUKA crashing

Dear Francesca

the error is in the cylindrical binning n. 13 "2rd50d" (and also the
following cylindrical, R-Phi-Z, binnings). The lowest radius is set
at -1.9, which makes no sense (radii must be >= 0), and cause the
calculation of the bin volume to end up in 0 -> a division by zero
when normalizing the output of that binning

Change the minimum radius value to 0 (assuming this is what you want)
in all R-Phi-Z binnings and everything should be ok.

BTW we should protect this case...

                       Ciao

You need to associate some other element low energy neutron cross section to avoid the crash, please look at http://www.fluka.org/fluka.php?id=man_onl&sub=96
