Ciao Alfredo,
sorry, I didn't mean that the package has some problems (I was
suspecting that a couple of slabs of material shouldn't scare it too
much), but that there might be something that I am missing, such as
some option that needed to be enabled.
However, I did try the debugger but it gets stuck without any error
messages at the same point as before, i.e., after reading the body
input and before the region data input (and the debugger output...),
with the lines
NUMBER OF BODIES 31
LENGTH OF FPD ARRAY 320
With any of the regions from the subset removed the debugger doesn't
report any error (I tried several grids).
Any other suggestion?
I went round the problem by modifying the geometry (I replaced a
shielding box with an L, which is probably more appropriate for
describing my system) and now it works, so it is really just a matter
of curiosity!
Thank you
Silvia
