Dear FLUKA/flair users
I am happy to announce you that "flair V1.1"
has just been released
http://www.fluka.org/flair
In this version the geometry editor engine has been completely reworked:
1. fully parallelized, in order to profit from the modern multi core architectures.
You will notice a boost in performance in the 3D plotting as well 2D of complicated
geometries when using a multi-core machine.
2. increase in floating point precision accuracy from 1e10 - 1e-10 to 1e15 - 1e-15
by improving the robustness of the floating point operations
3. speed improvements resulting in 20-30% gain for a single thread
4. simplification the interface
Apart from several bug fixes the most important additions are the
following:
- Change the layers interface. Now only the active layers are shown for
increased readability
- Edge detection in 3D
- Use of projection bodies for displaying USRBIN information in 3D
(e.g. fluence on transparent regions)
- Selection of regions by mouse clicking in 3D (when the 2D layer is not displayed)
- Support of multiple USRBIN projection
- Support of multiple palettes e.g. grey for density and color for
energy deposition
- Support of multiple fonts as well user defined fonts
- Display region names
- [d]efine zone will automatically create a new region if no region is selected
- New shortcuts:
[c] centers all displays (apart the 3D) on the same position
[F2] edit the name of the selected object
[m] edit the material of the selected region
[Home] equivalent to 0 center viewport to 0,0,0
- Experimental importing of Dicom files and conversion to Voxels or USRBIN
- Modification in the Run list and spawning interface. The spawn button is
removed and spawning is performed by typing in the number of cores in
the "Spawn" column
- Run-loops added. Perform a series of runs with a define variable
changing its value on run-per-run
- The default name of the USRxxx data processing is changed to add
the default extensions to the created files.
- Plots can be also cloned, created, deleted and change type by Right-clicking
on the project tree.
- Save/restore calculator information
- Clone/Delete/Change type of plots from the tree with right-click
- Correct #includes
- Autosave input during editing in flair-autosave.pickle file. In case
of crash you can recover by opening flair the pickle file as a normal input.
The autosave time is user configurable and initially set to 2min.
I would appreciate if your could test the new version and provide me with
feedback on problems, comments and suggestions in order to be improved.
Best Regards
Vasilis Vlachoudis
