Re: [fluka-discuss]: Problem using last version of FLUKA with Ubuntu 18.04

Hello
the strange thing is that the input you sent could never run, and the run
should crash while reading the input, well before reaching the start card.
There are FLAIR expressions in it: in orted to have FLUKA digest them,
uone should add a GLOBAL card with sdum=OLDFLAIR
The PHYSICS COALESCENCE card is empty, would not be accepted: what(1)
should be set to +1 or -1
There are estimators with repeated names: this is no longer accepted (to
avoid mistakes)

Maybe you can try to run the input outside flair, to be sure of what is
really taken as input:

$FLUPRO/flutil/rfluka -M1 -N0 Water-Target &
(& is to run it in the background)


Hope this helps
Paola
