Hi Zhiyi,
Most likely, the beam on/off function that you remember is that which can be set with the IRRPROFI card, but this is for activation/decay studies and would not work for the purpose you describe.
What Francesco wrote in the thread that you refer at is perfectly valid for your studies. You will need to sample and assign a non-zero start time for the age of your neutrons through the AGESTK (NPFLKA) variable (NPFLKA is the pointer) in the source.f routine. You can then consult that value (the particle age) in user-routines like mgdraw.f and use it do define your time/space spectra.

Subject: [fluka-discuss]: pulsed neutron source
Hi,
My question is very similar to the one in the thread:
http://www.fluka.org/web_archive/earchive/new-fluka-discuss/4416.html
We want to set up a pulsed neutron source with a certain pulse width, say 100 us, then we are interested in all neutron transportation afterwards. The pulse width is important for neutron space distributions and time spectra and cannot be handled by normalization. So I am curious if a user can set beam on and off with specific time? I vaguely remember FLUKA has such a function. Please confirm and if not, any solution?
Thanks,
Zhiyi.
