A new volume will be created with the name NAME and the appropriate parameters to define the slice shape. The full range of the mother will be divided in sections of the user supplied step. If the step does not fit to form an exact number of divisions, then the largest number which will fit will be made and any excess space will be equally divided between each end of the range of the mother and these extra spaces will be assumed to be just the mother.

NAME

A unique 4 character name for the volume to be generated by subdivision of the volume called MOTHER.

MOTHER

The 4 character name of the volume that has to be subdivided.

STEP

Thickness of divisions into which the mother volume is to be sliced.

IAXIS

Gives the axis to be sliced up.

NUMED

Medium number for the divisions. This can be different from that of the mother in order to account for the spaces left at each end of the divided range when the step does not divide the mother exactly. If NUMED<=0 the medium of the mother is used by default

NDVMX

Expected (maximum) number of divisions, or 0 (interpreted as 255)
