(I already solved the problem by setting the keyboard to US English, I explain a message below)
I'm trying to use SpekCalc to simulate a X ray tube, but apprently it's not showing the bremsstrahlung radiation. I´m using a peak energy of 100keV, a theta of 16 degrees, and 5 milimeters of aluminium. But I obtain the same results whatever I have tried. I'm runing release 1.1 light for macOS, and I obtained the same results for windows.
Note: I'm using the values Nf=2 and p=1, instead of those suggested by Poludniowski because apparently the GUI is not accepting any value minor than 1.0. I have been trying other values with similar results.

I have tried the same steps but did not face the error which you specified (see attached image).
Thank you. I have tryed on another windows computer, just to make sure, and still the same result. Doesn't matter what parameters, Bremsstrahlung is not there.
Maybe it is a bug on 1.1 version? Both in mac and windows I have used the currently downloadable free version from spekcalc.weebly.com
Yes, there is a problem with release 1.1 light. I am using version Pro which is working well so far.
I wrote to the developers and they told me to change the keyboard to US English, I tried and it works. They say that it's a known bug.
In Europe we use , instead of . for decimal numbers, that must be the problem. But with a proper configuration it works. I'll try to put it in a Sandbox.
Can this software calculate inherent and total filtration of diagnostic x-ray machine?
