[Gate-users] [How to use Magnetic Field in GATE]

[Kyung-Nam Lee]

Hello, GATE users in the world.

 

I have used GATE for simulation of dose distribution after passing through
passive beam nozzle in particle therapy.

 

For adding geometry of wobbler magnet, we want to generate magnetic field.

 

After some internet based search, I have got some grateful hints.

 

when we want to use uniform magnetic field with specific direction, we can
use following commands

 

#For z-direction

/gate/geometry/setMagField 0 0 3.0 T

# For x-direction

/gate/geometry/setMagField 10.0 0.0 0.0 T

 

However, if we want to use general function of magnetic field with time,
what is the commands can be used ??

 

I really hope to your comment.

 

Thank you^^
