Update login script:
To get the environment setup called automatically when a new terminal is open, you can add the commands for this setting in your login script, which is in our case in $HOME/.zshrc file. Open this file in your editor and add the following lines:
# Geant4 environment
cd /usr/local/bin
. geant4.sh
cd
Exercise 2a:
The picture shows geometry which will be implemented in this session.
- Inspect the code of the implemented geometry and modify materials to correspond to the geometry description below. The code already present describes the geometry of the first arm detector.
- Identify the code used for printing all materials.
- Implement geometry of a second arm described below.
- Get inspired by the code already present
- Proceed step by step. After adding each piece of geometry, recompile and test your application with visualization.
- Note that the Second Arm detector has a similar components as the First Arm detector.
Exercise 2b:
Explore implemented geometry:
- Add visualization attributes for added volumes in vis.mac macro
- Add axes on your scene to check your geometry
- Check your geometry with geometry tree browser and with tracking geantinos with tracking verbose level=1
- Add the run and event number in the viewer (use User Interface online help)
