Abstract
In this paper, we will review the lattice-cell/supercell calculation procedure using the code DRAGON by introducing a new supercell model. The use of such an explicit 3D geometry implies a very fine spatial mesh discretization that can generate a large number of regions leading to problems that cannot be solved by the collision probability (CP) method. The method of characteristics (MoC) is then the only alternative for such cases. A comparison of results using these two methods will also be presented for 3D models with a coarse mesh discretization.
