"The job has failed" in running example in DOSXYZnrc

[fatihahjazaaufa]

I have installed EGSnrc and want to try the DOSXYZnrc. I try to run the examples. Every example I used, it compiled successfully. But when I run it, it always said "The job has failed". There are no further message on what has been wrong. I already check the installation process and everything seems right. Is there anything that I could do? Because it also happen in my friend's laptop

The OS I used is windows. Here is the process

and this happen when I run it

Thank you

First thing I noticed, I believe AIR700ICRU requires the 700ICRU pegs4dat file. Could you try running it again?

The beamsource dosxyz example requires you to compile the BEAMnrc accelerator that it is using for a source as a shared library. Navigate to egs_home/BEAM_EX16MVp on the command line and type make library (on linux) or mingw32-make library (on windows). Also, compile that BEAMnrc accelerator normally (just make), and test a short simulation with the beamnrc input file (EX16MVp.egsinp) to ensure that simulation runs properly.

Thank you for the responses!

I have tried your suggestions @rtownson and here are the results

1. Type mingw32-make library
   

2. Compile the beam accelerator normally (type make)
   

Is there anything wrong? also when I test the short simulation using EX16MVp.egsinp it is said that the module file is corrupt. Here are the details

Thank you

Step 2: Since you're using mingw32 compilers, you'll need to use mingw32-make, not just make.

Step 3: Load the .module file, not the .egsinp file when you Load a previous accelerator. You select the input file when you use Load a previous input file.

I already do the simulation with the EX16MVp and also get the results (output files: .egslst, .egslog, .egsplot, .egsphsp, .egsgeom, .egsgph, .errors). Unfortunately, I still encounter the same problem when try to run example in dosxyznrc (the steps are exactly the same as the fist comment I sent)

Thank you

[rtownson]

Ok, please post the dosxyz output, does it print an error? Check the .egslst file. Also, make sure you are using the 700icru pegs file as suggested, not 521icru.

[fatihahjazaaufa]

Ok, I already tried it, even the output file (.egslst file) is nowhere to be found. Here are the details




Thank you

I also tried to run DOSXYZnrc from the command line, but I still encounter errors

thank you

All EGSnrc applications require the input file to be directly in the egs_home/application/ directory, not in a sub directory. I see the problem is that the example file is in the examples directory - you need to copy it up to the dosxyznrc directory. Also, when you run on the command line, do not provide file paths. Since it already knows exactly which folder to look in, you just need to type:

dosxyznrc -i 16MVp_h2o_phantom_beamsource_example -p 700icru

Thank you @rtownson for the help, it works now!
