Description Sets the amount of Gaussian beam overlap for a particular coherent source.
Syntax SetSourceBeamOverlap n, overlap
Parameters n As Long Node number of the source.
overlap As Double The new amount of overlap in the coherent rays.
Remarks This subroutine sets the amount of Gaussian beam overlap for a particular coherent source. The beam overlap is the amount of overlap between adjacent coherent rays in the initial grid of rays before they are raytraced. Typically this has a value between 1 and 2, with 1.5 being very common. If there is a problem the subroutine returns without modifying the source or setting an error.
