[Gate-users] problem with .IAEAphsp format

[David Sarrut]

Hello,

- for IAEA phase-space -> sorry, I dont know

- for root phase-space, please explain precisely what the issue is. When
compiling ? When writing or when reading a phsp ? What is you goal ?

Short information:

To write a phsp, it is managed by the PhaseSpaceActor
<https://github.com/OpenGATE/Gate/blob/develop/source/digits_hits/src/GatePhaseSpaceActor.cc>.
There are a lot of options (see the macros in the messenger
<https://github.com/OpenGATE/Gate/blob/develop/source/digits_hits/src/GatePhaseSpaceActorMessenger.cc>).
Do you setEnablePartName to true to store the particle name in the phsp ?

To read a phsp as a source of particles, it is managed by the
SourcePhaseSpace
<https://github.com/OpenGATE/Gate/blob/develop/source/physics/src/GateSourcePhaseSpace.cc>.
Also, have a look at the code and the associated messengers to get the full
list of options.

Phase Space is a large piece of code and could be quite powerful, but it is
complex. Please note that some bug fixes and modifications have been done
since the last Gate version. You may have a better luck to give a try with
the current Gate version (develop branch, which will be the next Gate 8.0
soon).

David
PS: please keep gate-user mailing list in copy, it could help other people
... and other people could help ;)
