Errors in MC transport parameters #1084

Closed physicsmed closed 10 months ago

physicsmed commented 10 months ago

i am trying to simulate a Linac using Full beam simulation in DOSXYZnrc, but i am wondering why these errors were created in the file of errors ? you found bellow the list of errors in the inputfile.errors file. " If you are not trying to reset transport parameters, ignore all the output until the message **** end input transport parameter ***

You can safely ignore these errors, they are always printed. They're just letting you know that you didn't specify your own values for these transport parameters, which means the defaults are being used. I understand that it's misleading that they are called errors, it should really be a warning or not printed at all.
