Re: [fluka-discuss]: Geometry Error

Dear Hayley,

The culprit is in the region definition of VOID. Too many expansions; fluka
crashes. The debugger works by calling a 'dry' fluka run. So even if you do not
use the debugger, fluka still will not run. To solve the problem you can
simplify that line of region definition for VOID (which can be easily done using
the geometry editor in flair).
