Dear Sergey,

FLUKA does not calculate the volume of regions automatically. If you want the normalization included in the FLUKA results, you need to manually specify the volume on the RENUCLEi card using the field Vol [WHAT(6)].

Cheers,
David

Hello,

if needed you can use FLAIR’s functionality to evaluate the volume & surface of complex regions. Just select the region and click on the “volume” icon on the toolbar (see below).
