[ RadSafe ] open source ion interaction with matter code

[Lantzelot]

I second that recommendation. SRIM is easy to use and quickly gives 
reliable results. It does not give a full 3-D simulation but is usually 
good enough for many estimates.
The website where to download the code is here: http://www.srim.org/

Best wishes,
