Dear Thomas
The parameters of beam and beampos are transferred to the code partly in
case you use the SOURCE parameter.
In detail: the position and the direction is taken into account (beam
pos), however, the spatial distribution which is given by the parameters
WHAT(4 - 6) are not considered in the simulation if SOURCE is used. I
did already the mistake of expecting an extended source, using the
source card and the BEAM What 4 - 6 together. Fortunately I checked it
with a fluence detector and it turned out to be a pencil beam instead of
a circular beam which I have expected.
Cheers
Helmut

Actually, you need also what(6): otherwise, you get a beam with a
rectangular
section. To get a circular section, define it as annular with internal
radius = 0.
And probably you need also what(3) to request an isotropic source
(otherwise
you get a parallel source along z: is that what you want?)

Correct.
