Is there a way to increase the maximum number of pixels allowed in non-sequential detector?

I'm trying to simulate a large size but high resolution detector in non-sequential mode. So I need both large number of rays and small pixel detector. But OS is capping my maximum number of pixels at 6000 and maximum number of rays to 1e9. Is there a way to increase those? computation, speed and time are not an issue. It can take as much time needed or the memory. Lemme know if I can change those settings some where to push to higher resolution. Thanks

Hi Ginni,

As you said, the maximum number of pixels is 6000 and there is no way to change that limitation. As a workaround, you can try to use a set of detectors to cover the full detector area (using several detectors instead of just one).

For the number of rays, each source has a limit of 4E+9 rays. If you need to trace more analysis rays, maybe you can overlap several source objects.

Best,
