Dear Anuj,
I would like to add one more clarification concerning the answers provided by Alberto and myself (I included both answers below):
if 500 TeV/n is a sufficient upper limit for you than you could use DPMJET-3, however if you need to go to higher energies it is presently recommended to link to DPMJET-2.5 (as there could be some instabilities with DPMJET-3 at that high energies for some secondary interactions).
Cheers, Anton

Dear Anuj,
I believe your question is already answered in Section 16 of the manual, which describes cosmic rays as a special source. I quote: "The Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) component of the cosmic ray flux can be simulated up to 30 TeV/nucleon (or 500 TeV/n when DPMJET is linked)."
Cheers, Anton

From the Manual:
Transport limits:
Secondary particles Primary particles
charged hadrons 1 keV-20 TeV (*) 100 keV-20 TeV (*) (**)
neutrons thermal-20 TeV (*) thermal-20 TeV (*)
antineutrons 1 keV-20 TeV (*) 10 MeV-20 TeV (*)
muons 1 keV-1000 TeV 100 keV-1000 TeV (**)
electrons 1 keV-1000 TeV 70 keV-1000 TeV (low-Z materials)
(**)
150 keV-1000 TeV (hi-Z materials)
(**)
photons 100 eV-10000 TeV 1 keV-10000 TeV
heavy ions <10000 TeV/n <10000 TeV/n
(*) upper limit 10 PeV with the DPMJET interface
(**) lower limit 10 keV in single scattering mode
