Error 12 running problems

Running and Runtime Errors

Dear fluka experts,
I’m trying to run an input with a cell receiving a proton beam, but I’m getting the error 12:
Error: No rancelula_01002 generated!
Error: No celula_01001.err generated!

The input is also not generating an .err file, I can’t know exactly where I’m going wrong… can you help me?
I couldn’t send it as an attachment, but it follows in text:

Thank you so much in advance!!

Please look at 001.log file. In case you do not manage to debug from it, please upload your files by means of the dedicated button (upward arrow).

Hi, now it’s attached, thank you!!

The .out file ends with the relevant error message:

  **** Low energy neutron xsec not found for some media            5           9  ****
 phos    
 sulf    
 clo     
 pot

In the respective elemental MATERIAL definition [by the way: do not fill the Am field, as prescribed in the manual, nor fill the A field, since you do not want a (radioactive!) mono-isotopic composition], you should give a case sensitive name matching the one in the low energy neutron library (e.g., PHOSPHO, and not phos).
Otherwise, you could ask for the new point-wise treatment instead (by means of an empty LOW-PWXS card), requiring to download the respective libraries.

Hello, thank you for the reply. I fixed your considerations and now I’m getting the following error:

e> line 0: color axis has cb coord of -1; must be above 0 for log scale!
e> ERROR: Gnuplot errors or warnings found

what it means? what exactly do I need to change in the input?

This is an error message from gnuplot.
It means that you are trying to plot in logarithmic scale something that is “-1”.
Try to do the plot in linear scale
