HI,
I am using EGSnrc for MC simulations of photons/electrons. Can I use EGSnrc for MC simulation of proton therapy? If yes, can anyone provide the infos/hints? Thanks.

Hi, I was trying to BUILD AND COMPILE but getting an error.
**************** Compiling beam_build ***************
“Mortran compiling beam_build”
file “C:UsersakashDownloadsEGSnrc-masterEGSnrc-masterHEN_HOUSEomegabeamnrcbeamnrc_user_macros.mor” does not exist. Quiting now.
It says “it failed to compile beam_build.exe”
TIA

Hi Everyone! I am trying to model a target that is composite at the EGSnrc and having trouble to do it. I am using EGSnrc GUI to the medium composition. My target is 52.5% Bi, 32% Pb and 15.5% Sn. How should I enter it in the medium composition? I am attaching the screenshot.
Hi Everyone,
I am dealing with a very minor dilemma (I think). I was going through the “Getting Started with EGSnrc” documentation example. I compiled and executed the code using the EGS GUI. I then played around with the egs_view utility to view the output (slab.egsinp and slab.ptracks), and I was able to open the slab.egsinp file perfectly, but when I try to load the ptracks file, I get a message that says “This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information.”
I am thinking it is because I accidentally told windows to open the ptracks file in egs_view and now I am stuck with having to specify a program to open the ptracks file as. I tried specifying it to open as notepad++ and tried reloading in egs_view again and got the same error message. I also tried renaming the file with the .ptracks extension again, and that still didn’t work. Does anyone know of any solution to this?
Thank you,
Tara

Hi, why does not the parallel job stop when it is running out of time? Will be everything combined ok if I interrupt it? Thank you for your help 🙂
Hi all;
I have this issue where I can not run the simulation with more than 100 000 histories! I get the error showing on the pics every time I try to increase the number of history or recycle. I have run a simulation before with 10 000 000 histories smoothly. Any thought!
your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Hanan


Hi everyone! Thanks again for the organizers and lecturers for the excellent training workshop at Tampere! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
I do have a simple (and a bit silly) question, too. How does one implement a torus in EGS++? I don’t think there’s a geometry class for it – although I could be wrong. Does anybody know what would be a good approach?
Hi everybody,
I just installed EGSnrc with no error messages but I can neither run the test.py in egs_brachy nor compile any file using ‘make’.
I later realized I need to define various environment variables.
Please how do I add statements to my “.bashrc file:”
Thanks very much in advance

Hi All,
I worked lung plan using EGSnrc code to compare with TPS. I used same parameters but the different with voxel size:
Do you have an idea about this difference?
I read 3ddose files using CERR software…
thanks.


Hi All,
Do you have an idea if there is a dose show tool that can be used in a Windows machine. I mean a program tool that is alternative to dosxyz show which does not run on Windows.
