[mcstas-users] mantid output test

[robert.dalgliesh at stfc.ac.uk]

Hi,
I've been brave and tried the Mantid output option in mcstas this morning.
I'm using mcstas 2.1 and mantid 3.2.1 on a Redhat 6.4 box.
There seems to be no problem with the installed NeXus and hdf libraries the simulation runs fine.

The problem comes when I try following the instructions to generate the IDF file.

This is the simple instrument I've tried some of the variables would be picked up in later components.

/* Change name of instrument and input parameters with default values */
DEFINE INSTRUMENT test(s1=0.03,s2=0.02,s3=0.008,bs=0.05,cdel=0.0,sampdet=4.406,lmin=0.5,lmax=13.0,dang=0.0)

AT (0, 0, 9.8195) RELATIVE sourceMantid

The xml file resulting from this when I run the command

mcdisplay --format=Mantid Test_Mantid.instr  -n0

after compiling chucks out this message

Illegal division by zero at /usr/local/bin/mcdisplay line 391, <IN> line 73.

And proceeds to dump an enormously long xml file with a huge number of weird repeated components.

Any hints as to what is messing things up would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rob
