Dear Riya Dey,
- TIMED OUT is not necessarily an error tag. In principle the run might be
still ongoing without writing since a while. More often, it actually hides
an abort, but to find the reasons one has to look into the log, err, out
files in the fluka_# temporary directory (TIMED OUT as such does not give
any clue).
- the parameters of the special USRBIN you input look fine at first glance
- I do not fully understand the meaning of the region 1003, which may
imply a geometry mistake. If your 1000 spheres are defined inside the 'BOX
0' box and are replicated (by proper box transformations) in the other 124
boxes, then 'BOX 0' (as the full container body) cannot be a region
itself, since it would overlap with the contained spheres (one should
rather define the region obtained by the subtraction of all spheres from
the prototype container).
Kind regards
Francesco
