Reading binary phase space files

Advanced Features and User Routines

FLUKA: 4-5.2
Flair: 3.4-5.4

Dear all,

I am working with phase space files in the IAEA format (.IAEAphsp, .IAEAheader), which are in binary form. I found a simple way for Fluka to read them is convert them to .txt and use a source routine. Although this works, it also creates Gb size files making the whole process very time consuming.

Is there some other way to make the source routine read such files in binary format?

Thank you for any information!

Best,
Simon

Dear Simon,

Unfortunately, I’m not aware of any premade user route for FLUKA that reads the IAEA phase-space files directly. You need to implement this feature by yourself.

Cheers,
David

Dear David,

Thank you for the reply.

That is okay, I will make an attempt to do so :slight_smile:.
