[Gate-users] Gate 9.0 Surfaces Not Working

Thu Oct 29 12:46:31 CET 2020

Dear Gabriel,

Looks like you try to define a surface of the world. If you use a ’scanner’ there is no common surface between the world and the crystal. Try to rethink which surfaces you want to define e.g. surface between Geometry1 and Geometry2 (scanner and scintillator OR scintillator and detector).

/gate/GEOMETRY1/surfaces/name            detection
/gate/GEOMETRY1/surfaces/insert            GEOMETRY2
/gate/GEOMETRY1/surfaces/detection/setSurface    perfect_apd

OR 

/gate/scanner/surfaces/name            detection
/gate/scanner/surfaces/insert            crystal
/gate/scanner/surfaces/detection/setSurface    perfect_apd

Best wishes,
Mariele
