The TORSED method provides a means of coupling cylindrical two-dimensional DORT fluxes or fluences to a three-dimensional TORT calculation in Cartesian geometry through construction of external boundary sources for TORT. This can be important for several reasons. The two-dimensional environment may be too large for TORT simulation. The two-dimensional environment may be truly cylindrical in nature, and thus, better treated in that geometry. It may be desired to use a single environment calculation to study numerous local perturbations. In Section I the TORSED code is described in detail and the diverse demonstration problems that accompany the code distribution are discussed. In Section II, an updated discussion of the VISA code is given. VISA is required to preprocess the DORT files for use in TORSED. In Section III, the references are listed.
