Dear PAT,

Disclaimer: I have no experience with nanoparticle research whatsoever.

(There may be others on the mailing list who do have expertise in your 
topic but are not reading this list every day.)

Your question sounds quite broad and unspecific to me. I think that in 
order to get some relevant answers it could be useful if you would 
provide us with some more geometrical details, and with some hints of 
what kind of questions you intend to investigate with your simulation.

For instance (please keep in mind the disclaimer above):

* Would you like to simulate a single nanoparticle in a small volume 
(cubic micrometers?) or many of them in some macroscopic volume?

* If many: do all your particles have the same shape, size and 
orientation, etc?

* If many: what number density and/or volume fraction is typical for 
your use case?

* In a typical Gate simulation, a "source" will irradiate your volume(s) 
with photons or ions. Are you interested in how the radiation affects 
the nanoparticle(s), or how nanoparticles change the effect of the 
radiation on the volume, or ....?

* ...

HTH,
David Boersma
