Corrections

Others

Update of IGRF magnetic field at IGRF-12 version

Corrections:

  • Transport: transport of multiple proton files did not take into account the first incident flux file.
  • LET spectrum: the calculation with the shielding geometry from a sector file was not possible.

Corrections:

  • Windows 10: The trapped particle dialog was causing a crash.
  • Transport: Shielding thickness <01 g.cm-1 led to unchanged integral flux values.

Corrections:

  • Trapped particle module: Magnetic field models given in result files could be different from the selected models on the GUI. However the computations used the models selected by the user.
  • SEE rate calculation module: correction of the X axis unit of the Weibull curve display for heavy ions from energy to LET.
  • GCR flux calculation module: The elements of the periodic table are now always updated automatically when switching from one element to another having a lower Z. This fix prevents a crash during the computations.
  • SEE rate calculation module: correction of the SEE rate computations based on an integral LET file.
  • Dose calculation module: dose depth curve graphs can now be overlaid only if their unit is the same.
  • The date format in the output file of the instantaneous flux has been changed to increase their precision.
  • Cosmic Rays module: correction on the calculation of the flux for the GCR ISO 15390 model with the Mission

Improvements

    • Transport module: the results of the electron flux transport have now a fixed sampling (10 samples per decade) that is extended down to 1 keV.
    • Graph plotting: plotting a graph from a file allows again overlaying graphs. Information about axis and units are also retrieved from the file if they exist and are correctly formatted.
