1.6. Monte Carlo mode

flair v3 is capable to handle various known monte carlo codes. This is referred in flair as Monte Carlo mode of operation. At present the following codes have somehow limited support. For the moment the support is still experimental and most of it can be activated by enabling the -d developer option in flair

1.6.1. Convert to another Monte Carlo

Flair has capability to convert from one MC code to another. Not all combinations are supported. The user must be aware that the conversion is limited to the common functionalities between the various codes. Therefore he should inspect the converted code for possible artifacts and/or errors during the conversion
