[Gate-users] Actor type: FixedForcedDetectionActor does not exist!

Tue Oct 13 12:59:29 CEST 2020

Dear hsl…!

You wrote: ’RTK is required for this function, you should install ITK with RTK ON firstly, and recompile Gate with ITK ON .’

I followed your suggestion: Built ITK with RTK on and then while building Gate GATE_USE_ITK=ON and GATE_USE_RTK=OFF were set. But the issue is the same: ’Actor type: FixedForcedDetectionActor does not exist!’

I did the following:

After building GEANT4-10.6.2 and ROOT:

Downloaded and extracetd ITK 4.13.

sudo ccmake -DITK_USE_REVIEW=ON -DModule_RTK=ON ..

 BUILD_EXAMPLES                   OFF
 BUILD_TESTING                    OFF

 ITK_WRAP_PYTHON                  OFF
 MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND              MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND-NOTFOUND

sudo make -j4
sudo make install

And then:

Downloaded Gate-9.0

sudo ccmake ../gate

BUILD_TESTING                    ON

 ROOTCINT_EXECUTABLE              /usr/share/cern_root/bin/rootcint

sudo make -j4
sudo make install

source /usr/share/cern_root/bin/thisroot.sh
source /usr/share/geant4/geant4-install/bin/geant4.sh
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/gate/gate-install/bin

And then Gate runs properly, can run Monte-Carlo, but not ffda.

While I’m waiting for response, I build RTK too and build Gate with RTK ON too…

Thanks in advance,

Dear Simon,

Yes, the suggestion in issue 254 did help. Thank you!

That seems to be a root problem. Can you check if the suggestion in issue 254<https://github.com/OpenGATE/Gate/issues/254> helps you?

Anyway, it was not ccmake which crashed with error but the build (make). Here you are the very end of it:

Hi,
Gate does not suport GEANT4_BUILD_MULTITHREADED and you should get a meaningful message when configuring Gate, see here<https://github.com/OpenGATE/Gate/blob/develop/CMakeLists.txt#L70>.
Fixed forced detection only works on one voxelized volume with the rest (world, detector material, etc) being made of one material only. It supports x-ray spectrum and detector response, following the example in GateContrib.
You can always do a pure Monte Carlo simulation instead if you prefer mathematical descriptions, see the analog simulation<https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib/blob/master/imaging/CT/fixedForcedDetectionCT/mac/monteCarloCT.mac> of the fixed forced detection example.
Please report the meaningless messages if you get any...

Anyway, may I ask some more general questions?

    1. I plan to use GATE for one definite purpose. I am to simulate microCT acquisitions with mathematical phantoms which means that I need to be able to simulate
        - X-ray source with spectrum.
        - Interaction of X-ray and matter below 130keV, i.e. photoelectric effect, Compton- and Raleigh-scatter.
        - Detector response.
    In this case what flags and settings do you recommend for GEANT4 and GATE4 build?

    2. Anyway, how can I find out myself such dependencies? Meanwhile I succeeded to compile GEANT4 with the following flags:
sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/PAHT/TO/geant4/geant4-install/ -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON -DGEANT4_USE_SYSTEM_EXPAT=OFF CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo GEANT4_BUILD_MULTITHREADED=ON GEANT4_USE_RAYTRACER_X11=ON GEANT4_USE_INVENTOR=ON GEANT4_USE_XM=ON /PATH/TO/geant4/geant4/

However, this case my GATE compilation crashes with meaningless error message. It would be really demanding to try out one-by-one which flag is really helpful in my case and which causes the crash. It is very likely, that crash is caused by some settings which are, on the other hand, absolutely useless for X-ray modelling in GATE.

Hoping that my point is clear,
Gabor

RTK is required for this function, you should install ITK with RTK ON firstly, and recompile Gate with ITK ON .

Subject: [Gate-users] Actor type: FixedForcedDetectionActor does not exist!

Dear All,

I am new to GATE. Until now, I have been playing with vGATE, on Virtual Machine. Now I am testing my newly compiled GATE on my host machine. I tried to execute a macro which runs properly on vGATE. You may find it in GateContrib Github folder: https://github.com/OpenGATE/GateContrib/tree/master/imaging/CT/fixedForcedDetectionCT .

On my host Gate can not accomplish this line:
/gate/actor/addActor FixedForcedDetectionActor ffda
Warning message:
 *** WARNING ***   Actor type: FixedForcedDetectionActor does not exist!

And then, naturally, ffda can not be attached and Gate stops with error:
/gate/actor/ffda/attachTo                     world
[G4-cerr] command  not found

Any hint?

I installed the whole stuff on Ubuntu 20.04. Here are my notes about the installation:
