Hi
Perhaps you should try the LAM-BIAS card also along with photonuc card.
There is an example in the manual.

The USRYIELD card scores the yield in unit solid angle(sr-1) at the given
direction. The half solid angle is defined by the upper and lower angle that
are input as what(4) and what(5) in the second card. See the answer
by Giuseppe.

The steradian can be converted to unit area at a distance (solid angle =
dA*cos(theta)/r2), theta=0 if normal to surface. ONce you convert the sr to
cm-2, you can use the ICRP or Maurizio Pelliccioni's fluence to dose
conversion coefficients given in units of pSvcm2 and obtain dose equvalent.

Good luck!
