[Gate-users] How to compile a new geometry class?

[Andrew Nixon]

Hi Andreas,

Just to add a third option to your list: if you have a CAD model of your collimator you can import it directly into Gate as a tessellated solid via an .STL file.

Thanks,

Andrew.

Subject: [Gate-users] How to compile a new geometry class?

Dear Gate community,

probably this has been asked before, but it seems I cannot use the mailing list's archive.

So, can someone please tell me where to find instructions on how to compile a newly added class in Gate? I don't seem to find it in the online documentation, either.

To be specific, I am supposed to do a simulation which contains a rather complex collimator. As the Gate scripting language does not seem to support what I am trying to do, I decided to use two different ways and try out which one works better: The first one is to use Geant4's boolean solids and do subtractions of geometry primitives. The second would be to load a GDML file containing the geometry which also can be done in Geant4. I only started the first one and I wrote a Gate geometry class and a messenger connected to it as well as the necessary header files.

Now, is there some template makefile / CMakeLists.txt I could use to actually compile these and test them? Or do I just put the sources into the location of the other Gate sources and re-make the whole thing so that the new files are compiled?

Thanks for your help!

Andreas Menzel
