egsinp command list

[Jaap1957]

Hi, I am new to EGSnrc, it is a great program !

Managed to get through the 'getting-started.pdf'.
Now i have an adapted 'slab.egsinp' file.

I try to simulate a camera in an electron microscope.
I want to measure the dose in a few voxels around a pencil beam of electrons hitting a 'direct electron' camera (read: some metal and Si layers).
With the " :start input loop: " ... construct
I can easily address a set of voxels.
i learned the :start input loop: command from the egsinp examples.

But i want to do more. Learning by going through the examples is a slow process.

Is there a list of commands used in the egsiinp files,
which defines the "language" used in egsinp ?

Have a great 2022 !
Jaap

The input terms for egs++ are all described here:
https://nrc-cnrc.github.io/EGSnrc/doc/pirs898/
specifically, look under common input syntax, geometries and sources. This covers the vast majority of the possible inputs.

Each application will have some specific inputs. Those are described on the application documentation page, e.g. for egs_chamber:
https://nrc-cnrc.github.io/EGSnrc/doc/pirs898/egs_chamber.html

The input loop command is one that is currently overlooked in the common syntax documentation, but it is described on the egs_chamber page (it used to only be available for egs_chamber).

Thanks.

So i found something special with the iinput loop, i understand.

Comparing the time needed to get a real result with EGSnrc , MCNP4C or GEANT4 i see you guys have done a great job.

I needed only a few days to get through install, understand enough of the input files, and start tweaking the tutor7pp example.

That's great to hear!
