The listbox of the dialog lists all geometrical errors that are found. Duplicates are removed. flair-geoviewer is scanning all visible bodies to identify the errors, therefore all the points are located “on the boundaries” of the body, however the error is either on the positive (inside) or the negative (outside) side of the body.

x,y,z:

Coordinates of the error (on the surface of body)

body:

Body with the x,y,z point on surface generating the error

+body:

Regions that are on the + side of the body. Regions where the body should be subtracted to remove the error

-body:

Regions that are on the - side of the body. Regions that the body should be intersected to remove the error

+/-:

of body are defined according to the normal on the surface.

+:

refers to outside, - to inside

The text box in the errors dialog shows errors and warning found during the interpretation of the FLUKA input file. Warnings can be disabled with the “Ignore Warnings” option in the Preferences (Configuration) dialog of flair.
