[Gate-users] How to Run Simulation in VGate

[Nicola Poles]

Hi Amy,

VGate runs just the same as Gate. You can run your macro file from anywhere as long as you provide accurate paths for other macros you might call inside the "main" macro and for GateMaterials.db. Examples below:

/control/execute                    Verbose.mac

In this case you are executing a macro which is in the directory from which you have launched Gate.

/gate/geometry/setMaterialDatabase    ../GateMaterials.db

Here you are telling Gate that the GateMaterials.db is in the parent directory.

I hope this clears it up for you.

If I were to create my own macro file for a simulation, and bring it into VGate, how would I go about running it? Do I need to create my own folder or directory in VGate? And do I need to copy the GateMaterials.db file into it? I understand the commands to run a macro, I am just not sure if I need to be in a specific directory, and what files need to be in the directory so that the simulation will work.
