I have a model that utilizes Iodine 125 seeds in a Gamma-Knife type geometry to produce a localized dose. I have modeled this in FLUKA with a row of collimating holes which has been replicated using LATTICES. I simulate the multiple simultaneous seeds by simulating each individual seed location and combining the results.
I have two problems:
1) I am trying to score the photon current passing into the interior of my irradiator from the collimating holes. Implementing the USRBDX card to do one-way Current scoring causes the simulation to fail with
Program received signal SIGFPE: Floating-point exception - erroneous arithmetic operation.
I have been unable to identify the error.
If I run the simulation with only USRBIN scoring it runs just fine.
2) When I use a seed location in one of the lattice regions, I get lots of
Geofar: Particle in region 29 (cell # 5) in position -3.055184254E+00 6.866332986E+00 -3.308096656E+00
is now causing trouble, requesting a step of 1.675802152E+03 cm
to direction -2.521430795E-02 -7.443458025E-01 6.673181887E-01, error count: 0
type errors. From what I understand this is lattice related and probably numerical precision related.
I am at a loss as to how to fix these issues. I have attached my .flair (made with Flair3) and my input file.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
