Voxel material reading Error

Geometry and Materials
7

Dear Richard,

It is still not entirely clear to me what might be your problem, but I have a few considerations:

  • I opened your dualct2.flair file and I found that the VOXEL card had a wrong filename, I chaged it alternatively to the two .vxl files you provided (default.vxl and newconver.vxl), however, also for me the voxel regions did not have a material assigned → there might be something wrong with both files.
  • Then I decided to create a .vxl file from scratch starting from a dicom example file that I found on the web (.dcm), to test your newconver.mat file:

    • first I used for the material definition head.mat (a file provided in the Flair webpage, in section Auxiliary files) → this worked fine and created the desired geometry (see picture below)

    • then I used newconver.mat and in this case I got the same error message you are receiving (se picture below).

To me, there is something wrong with newconver.mat, but also probably with default.vxl and newconver.vxl.
Can you please try to re-generate your .vxl file starting from your dicom file and using, for the materials, head.mat (download it from the Flair webpage, in section Auxiliary files)? To create the .vxl file, I would suggest you to follow the steps provided in this thread: RT-planning example using Fluka.

I hope this can help you,
Cheers,
Marco
