Dear Obed,

It is difficult to help without knowing exactly what you wish to do.

If you wish to simulate both the irradiation of your material and the dose
from the activation, you can do it in a single run by using the RADDECAY,
IRRPROFI, DCYTIMES and DCYSCORE cards

If you already have a distribution of radioactive nuclei, you can input
them (one isotope at a time) through the BEAM card with sdum ISOTOPE. The
source can be distributed within a given volume, see options CYLY-VOL etc.

Dose equivalent ca be scored directly by asking DOSE-EQ as quantity. It is
computed from particle fluences convoluted with conversion factors.

I strongly suggest you to go through lectures from past courses, for instance
https://indico.cern.ch/event/694979/contributions/2927152/attachments/1657658/2654336/Activation_2018.pdf

Hope this helps
Paola
