Dear Luigi,
Thank you very much for your help. I understand what was my main error.
In fact I should expand the expression with parentheses by hands and
write it out explicitly without parentheses at all using the boolean
algebra. The usage of the same half-spaces to define many different
regions also is very good idea. Unfortunately I can't use meaningful
names for bodies and regions since I program very complicated geometry
with many thousands regions and I don't write input file for it by hand.
I write special program that produces the input file with all this
variety of things. Therefore I have to generate all names automatically.
Thank you again,
Alexander

>> I need a geometry represented by a pack of thin hexagonal silicon plates. There is no tool in FLUKA to construct a hexagonal prism, therefore I construct each hexagonal plate (actually a prism with a small height) by eight generic half-spaces (PLA). To define such a geometry I have to use name-based free-format notation together with parentheses to define vacuum region. My construction works very well with 1,2,3 and 4 plates in the pack, but it does not work with 5 and more plates (I actually need 60 plates as a minimum). A task with more than 4 plates produces segmentation violation error after 5-10 seconds of normal running. The error message about segmentation violation appears in the log-file, not in the console:
