Dear FLUKA experts,
I tried with differents bodys and test surface. Unfortunately the method
that you suggested seems to not work for me.
The last attempt was with a sphere and it leads the results of At=624.86
cm^2 instead of an Ar=314.16 cm^2 as it should be. The sphere has a
radius of 5 cm.
Maybe I made some mistakes. What is the correct value given by the
usrbdx scoring that I have to use?
I attach on the email the input and the scoring file.
Best regards and thank you for your time, Alessandro Calamida.
