MOCASSIN 2.02 manual
symmetricXYZ
Syntax
symmetricXYZ
Description
When the nebula to be modelled shows axial symmetry in the x- y- and z-directions, this keyword can be used to enable the symmetric grid procedures. This will result in the ionizing source being put in a corner of the grid, instead of being put in the centre, meaning that only one eighth of the nebula will have to be computed.
symmetricXYZ should not be used in models illuminated by a diffuse source.
Default value
.false.
