There is no rectangular beam in pyPENELOPE. pyPENELOPE was developed based on the PENEPMA main program of PENELOPE. Such beam is not available in this main program, only in PENMAIN or PENCYL, if I'm not mistaken.

It should not be too difficult to add. However, PENMAIN and PENCYL have many other options to setup the beam that would be more difficult to implement (Source box dimensions, active source body, phase-space file, etc.). Are these options important for your application?

Can you help with this problem?
