[Gate-users] source rotation using "attachTo" command

[Marc Chamberland]

Hi Taku,

Can you post your relevant macros?

My guess right now, though I have not tested it, is that the attachTo command is only for actual movement of the source (i.e. commands under VOLUME_NAME/moves/). Commands that are under VOLUME_NAME/placement/ are probably ignored. This would explain why you still need to use posrot, since it is a positioning command and not a movement command.

Marc

Hello GATE users,

I've been working on the rotation of the source.
I checked through the mailing list and found it should work with "attachTo" command.
I tried it with a simple geometry, but never succeeded. Always only the phantom rotates and not the source.

The old method using posrot1 and posrot2 worked but the theory behind it is still kinda confusing.

My GATE is ver6.2, is there anyone who did rotate the source with "attachTo" command?

Thanks.
