Re: [fluka-discuss]: MAT-PROP and new material defining

Dear Agnieszka,
indeed the LOW-MAT card for ARGONHP was missing in your input file, as one could recognise by inspecting the end of the output file.
Also the MAT-PROP card was missing.

With the following cards, you should get the right definition of the material:
* ..+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7..
MATERIAL 18. .0415 40.ARGONHP
LOW-MAT ARGONHP 18. 40. 296. ARGON-40
MAT-PROP 25. ARGONHP

Note that I assigned the ARGONHP to the Ar-40 in the low-energy neutron library, since you explicitly referred to Ar-40 in your first email.
Best, luigi

Hi Agnieszka,
there was no attachment to your email.
Could you also keep the email exchange on the list?
Thanks, luigi

Dear Luigi,

I added LOW-MAT card for argon but unfortunately code is still not working..... I attached my input file, only with ARGONHP added, without MAT-PROP card assigned to it.

Thank You for help!

Best regards,
Agnieszka

Dear Agnieszka,
have you added the LOW-MAT card to associate ARGONHP to the corresponding low-energy neutron cross-sections?
If this does not solve your problem, could you possibly send the input file or a minimal version of it in order to reproduce the crash?
Thanks, luigi

For that purpose I defined a new material with name "ARGONHP", with atomic number 18 and atomic weight 40 (the same as for default argon) and assigned it to MAT-PROP card and sphere filled with argon. Unfortunately, my simulation crashed, it is not running, even .err is not created.

Simulation crashed once again so my assumption is that the problem is with adding new material with the same atomic number and atomic weight as has the predefined one.
