class PeriodicBox : public Module

Rectangular box with periodic boundaries.

If a particle passes on of the sides it is placed at the opposite side and its initial (source) position changed accordingly. This implements periodic boundaries, that keep the particle inside the box and instead move the source away periodically. Particles can overshoot (be outside of the box during the step) since the step size is not limited by this module.
