Assunto: RE: From flair to bash script: definition of constants (#define)
Greetings Ana,
FLUKA only understands the values that are written in the actual FLUKA cards.
Flair uses its own quasi-cards starting with "!_at_" and the "what" of the card that is suppose to calculate.
When you change a variables value with your script you are just changing the text inside the input file and nothing else.
Unless you open flair and actually make a quasi-change and re-save the input file nothing will be changed.
However there is a way to update them through a bash script.
If you type flair -h you will find a list of very useful options for flair.
One of them is the "update | -u " which when combined with an input file it will "Recalculate and save input file variables".
e.g. flair -u test.inp
You can use that in your bash script after you have changed the value of the variable.
Kind regards
Lefteris
