Hello
Material Manganes is defined with no Z value-> taken as 0-> crash.
There was no error message during input reading, since undefined Z is
allowed if the material is a compound.
Be also careful, Manganes and Chromium with small letters will not be
recognized during the association with materials in the neutron
library, either use capital letters or add LOW-MAT cards

For what concerns fluka-discuss, what is the problem? Post to
