Re: source.f & mgdraw.f - input and output my own particles

Dear all,
I'm replying to my own email sent some time ago because finally I was
able to solve my problems using source.f and mgdraw.f to read and dump
the raw particles at the beginning and at the end of the simulations.
In case you're interested I wanted to share my results.
You can find all the code on my github repo page at
https://github.com/cenit/Fluka_Astra_tools
Just one problem remains, that is how to obtain a dump at a certain
time step, instead that at a certain interface. At the moment I'm
reconstructing it using the time variable at which each particle
reaches the z position and letting the quickest to drift freely while
waiting for the slowest using a small routine that I've written, but
it would be better if fluka could do that. If it's possible, how could
I do?

Best regards,

      Stefano
