is there a fiber source dll with sobol sampling?

Hello, I am trying to consider in my simulation in non-sequential mode the homogenizing behavior by optical components of laser radiation. I use fiber1.dll as source for this and had to realize that in my case I have to set the number of analyzing beams very high depending on the detector resolution to exclude measurement errors. As a result, however, my simulations take a lot of time. I recently came across the article "Understanding Sobol sampling" here, which explains the "signal to noise ratio" in this regard, pretty much providing the reason why I am forced to put up with such long simulation durations. On the other hand, sobol sampling could help me, but unfortunately I couldn't find any source files similar to fiber1 that use sobol sampling and wanted to ask if there are any that are accessible?

Best regards,
Torsten

Hi @Torsten! Unfortunately the Source DLL does not use the Sobol sampling.
