Dear Sandipan
I have the impression that your problem has nothing to do with the energy
loop.
I took your latest input. This is the master for the loop, and has no
value defined for the energy, so it crashes immediately. Indeed your
screenshot shows that you are running the first case of your loop.
I opened the input with flair, asked for a loop in energy, ran one of the
subcases, it runs successfully (in attachment input and output)

I have no brilliant ideas, only few suggestions/questions:

- Maybe something went wrong with the installation: try to run the example
input that comes with the fluka distribution and see if it works

- Try to run the cc-1.inp that is in the attachment

-Try to have a look at least to the last lines of the huge output file,
using the tail command (tail path_to/filename),

-Try to have a look at the .log file

-Do you have any user routine that could write on the output file?

-Do you have any scoring card?


..and let me know

Paola
