Dear Zafar Yasin
if you need to model a source that is not monoenergetic, and you know what
is the enegy spectrum of your source,you have to write your own SOURCE
routine. You can find documentation in the manual, in the "user written
routines" chapter". There is also an example posted on the Discuss list:
