[fluka-discuss]: RE: Problems with running FLUKA on Virtual Box and Flupix

Dear Fluka Users,

I run my simulation for irradiation of the Molybdenum 100 or natural Moly by proton beam, and they are OK.
However, when I try to implement a compound to include defined levels of isotopic impurities, it fails.
There is no specific error message. Simulation just ends after a minute or so with message finished OK but there is no data generated.
Please could you advise if there is any mistake in my input file?

Dear Adam,
in most cases the .err .log and .out files contain the error message why the simulation fails to run.
In your case, FLUKA checks if you have the necessary physics card in your input to get correct results for the activation.
You need to add two PHYSICS cards; one for EVAPORAT and one for COALESCE.
Kind regards,

Dear Andrea and David
Thank you very much for your advice. It helped. The example file works well, but my own input file gives funny results.
When I run it, FLAIR waits for attaching and then goes straight to Finished OK. When I try to process the data it gives me such message:
