[Gate-users] Time to complete the simulation

[ayanas at mail.med.upenn.edu]

Hello,
You may modify YourParthtoGateInstall/src/GateEventAction.cc as 

void GateEventAction::EndOfEventAction(const G4Event* evt)
{
  G4int event_id = evt->GetEventID();
  if ( (event_id % 1000000) == 0 )
      G4cout << ">>> Event " << event_id << G4endl;
 ...
}
This would write the completed event number into standard output
in multiples of 1000000 events (you may direct this to a log file as well). 
In this way you can tell how may events were completed and calculate 
how many there are to go... 

If you have multiple runs (time slices),
you can do the same in GateRunAction.cc for EndOfRunAction method, 
but using GetRunID().
I hope this helps..
Ahmet.
