Set fractional step size (FSDX=)
SIMCON: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:    SIMCON: FSDX={fractional step size}
Example: SIMCON: FSDX=0.01


Purpose: Fractional time step taken during the exposure.
Data Type:
real number
Unit:
n/a
Default: 1 (output results at start of simulation and just after the radiation delivery ends).
Comments:  Use a value FSDX= 0.01, for example, to observe cell- and damage-repair kinetics during the radiation exposure.  Set FSDX=1 to speed up calculations (no cell or damage repair kinetic information will be output during the radiation exposure). See also the TSAX parameter.
