[Gate-users] Materials.xml problem...

[Rony A.]

Dear Gate Users,

my Materials.xml is not being read as the default file.

I am trying to simulate optical photons,
The MaterialsDatabase.db, surfaces.xml, and materials.xml files, all exist
in the directory where my macros are being run by Gate (v. 5).
After investigations, I figured out that the Materials.xml file is not being
used by Gate, but Gate is using some other Materials.xml file existing in
another unknown directory.

When I set my material as LSO, it seems that LSO exists in the other unknown
xml file, and the simulation runs.
But if I change the name to LSO1 in my macros, materialsDatabase.db and also
MY materials.xml
The error I get is: materialDatabase did not load the properties of LSO1
this might be a problem if optical photons are transported in this volume.

Could anyone please tell me how do I fix this problem, or how do I set my
Materials.xml file as the default one to be used ?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Rony.
