[Gate-users] Issue enabling Surfaces/Optical Photons - COMMAND NOT FOUND - Gate v.7

[David Larsson]

Hi again everyone,


just to update the issue: the problem seems to rely on (my) Gate not loading the Materials.xml and Surfaces.xml-files, even though I have them named this way and even though I'm launching Gate inside the directory where the files are.


If anyone has encountered the same before, please let me know if you know a solution. Otherwise, I'll update the user-list if I find a solution on my own.


Regards,


David

Hi Vesna,


thanks for your answer. Yes I did add 'OpticalBoundary', 'OpticalAbsorption', 'OpticalRayleigh' and 'OpticalMie' within my mac-script, however I still get the same error message (i.e. 'surfaces'-commands not found/available).


I have tried to run the same script on a previous Geant4-compilation (9.6) as well as earlier libraries of CLHEP (2.1.3.1 and 2.1.4.1) but still have the same issue. It seems like I have succesfully turned ON the GATE_USE_OPTICAL setting (since I can add optical physical processes without any problems) but still, the surface-options seems to still be lacking. Anyone having encountered the same or knows what I could try to resolve this?


Thanks for your help,


David

Hello David,

Did you specify the following physics processes?

/gate/physics/addProcess OpticalAbsorption
/gate/physics/addProcess OpticalRayleigh
/gate/physics/addProcess OpticalBoundary <== needed for Surface processes
/gate/physics/addProcess OpticalMie

Hope this helps,
vesna

Dear Gate-users,

I'm just about to start working with optical photons in Gate and have gotten a test script for trying this feature. However, when running I get the error message below:


***** COMMAND NOT FOUND </gate/micropixels/surfaces/name glasslayer_micropixels> *****

I can manually within Gate see that "surfaces" is not an enabled feature of any created geometry. I've followed the User guide and made sure that GATE_USE_OPTICAL is set to "ON", recompiled and re-run the Gate-installation (make install). However, I still seem to get this issue.

I'm working with the following package versions:

    Root version is 5.34/22

    Geant4 version is 10.0.3

    CMake version 2.8.12.2

    CLHEP version is 2.2.0.3

    Gate version is 7.0

Does anyone know what I have to do to enable surface and optical photon options? Does anyone know how to proceed from the above?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

David Larsson
