**HINT**: To include self-scattering, `<source_dust nr_photons = "Nph">` (`Nph` is the number of photon packages) and `<path_grid>` with the path to the grid file of the temperature simulation (e.g. "projects/disk/example/temp/grid_temp.dat") have to be provided in the command file (`dust_mc`).

**HINT**: `dust` simulations only include directly emitted radiation of the dust.

`dust_mc` simulations include directly emitted and scattered stellar radiation, scattered radiation thermally emitted by dust, but **not** directly emitted radiation of the dust.

Thus, the user has to combine the results of `dust` and `dust_mc` simulations to obtain a complete spectrum.
