<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">Dear fiak,<br>
<br>
I totally agree with the last email from Andreas. You should decrease the complexity of your macro first in order to figure out the problem...<br>
I had a quick look. It seems to me that you are using a phase space file which you did not provide. Therefore it is difficult to understand if the problem is related to your actors definition or the source itself.<br>
<br>
I have also the feeling that your source is not doing what you expect... for example:<br>
- did you check if your beam is going in the right direction?<br>
- did you check if there is an easier way to define a circular gamma source?<br>
- did you try the same macro with a simpler source type like gps for example?<br>
<br>
moreover, it seems you are missing a resolution for your dose actor which I would advise to define.<br>
<br>
Hope it can help!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Alessio<br>

I want to calculate the depht and profile dose using DoseActor in a water phantom (30*30*30)cm, below the procedure that I followed in the calculation. The results obtained aren't just, the gamma beam doesn't undergo any attenuation in the water.<br>

Please, is the method I tried wrong?<br>
