I am thinking of simulating Gamma rays in FEM software like Ansys, COMSOL, etc. I tried to see some reference papers to start with but haven't got any relevant ones. Also, I have been looking for any sort of previous work done in this part, but unfortunately found none.
I saw somewhere that Gamma rays can be simulated in software like GEANT4 but I am not thinking of learning a new software only to simulate gamma rays and later it becomes of no use to me. So I am sticking with the common software used in academic institutes.
Can anyone tell me what do you think that whether gamma rays can be simulated in FEM or not? If yes, can you share some relevant papers or modules to start with.
There are several codes that can utilize FEM for setting environment/geometry in photon/particle transport simulations, including PHITS, MCNP, and Geant4.
The PHITS code, for example, may be helpful for you if you have a tetrahedral finite-element mesh:

There is also a GUI for rapid setup of PHITS simulations of, for example, internal photon sources :

Thank you so much Lukas Carter for replying. I will read the information you have provided and hope that this solves my problem.
I further request that is there any method to simulate Gamma rays in FEM software without coding, but only using modules provided in the software? I am asking this because I belong to a mechanical background and working in medical fields so can't learn coding too to incorporate in this work in a short time.
