Thank you very much that is helpful. After looking at the slides and example, I have one question. I understand in the example why the use of lattices are included since there are multiple copies of the same component. However, if I only have one magnetic field region, do I still need to use a lattice card to transform my position coordinates to my magnetic map frame? Since the magfld routine only outputs the field at a given point could I not use the transformation matrix on the x,y,z coordinates inside my magfld routine to interpolate the field from my magnetic map and then do the inverse rotation to put the field in the geometry reference frame? I guess I am confused as to why a lattice is needed when it seems like it is only being used to access the rotation matrix as in the slides.

Dear Dirk,
you can give a look at the slides<
https://indico.cern.ch/event/334606/contribution/18/material/slides/0.pdf> presented at the last advanced FLUKA course about the tracking in magnetic field.
As a practical example, you can refer to the exercise proposed at the same school<
https://indico.cern.ch/event/334606/contribution/19>.
In this example, we associated a constant field to several quadrupoles defined as lattices, by means of ROT-DEFI transformations.
All the best, Luigi

I am having no success and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I have generated a 3 dimensional magnetic map consisting of x,y,z coordinates and magnetic field vector components at each location. In Flair I turn on the magnetic field in a region of the same size. I then track particles in that region subject to the magnetic field represented by my magnetic map. I have used the magfld user routine to accomplish this for the case where my map coordinates coincide with my Fluka geometry. My problem is that I am trying to rotate my Fluka geometry about a point using a Rot-Def and apply a corresponding transformation in my magfld routine that would rotate my field map with my geometry. The goal is to sum the contributions from multiple beams at the origin where each beam is subject to a magnetic field that has been rotated along with the beam.
