Use of MAVRIC for deep penetration problems

[David Holler]

Hi all,

I'm using MAVRIC to calculate dose responses in a reactor building using the CAAS methodology. I have one model where I want to record the dose rate 130 feet from the source past walls and shielding, but it crashes my computer during the first step when I run it. I typically use ~50 spatial bins in each direction, refined at the target, and most default parameters. I also try to reduce the total geometry volume as much as possible.

Would anyone have any suggestions or best practice points to share on these kinds of problems in MAVRIC? Other than what is in the manual of course. 

Thanks in advance.
