Hello,

I moved the Barrel DIRC geometry from detector class (PndDrc.cxx) to a .root file (geometry/dirc_l0.root) and now I can run the DIRC simulation only with GEANT3.

With GEANT4 simulation crashes both on 32-bit and 64-bit mashines with the following message:

*************************************************************
Geant4 version Name: geant4-09-02-patch-02 (28-August-2009)
Copyright : Geant4 Collaboration
Reference : NIM A 506 (2003), 250-303
WWW : http://cern.ch/geant4
*************************************************************

Info in <TG4RootNavMgr::Initialize>: Creating G4 hierarchy ...
Info in <TGeoManager::ConvertReflections>: Converting reflections in: FAIRGeom - FAIR geometry ...
Info in <TGeoManager::ConvertReflections>: Done
===> GEANT4 materials created and mapped to TGeo ones...
Cannot make material for volume: BarrelDIRC
Aborting in CreateLogicalVolume()

*** G4Exception: Aborting execution ***

the macro which creates geometry as a .root file is the following:
/u/mpatsyuk/PANDA/trunk/macro/drc/createRootGeoFile.C

Do I have problems with materials??
But all the materials (media) are from the common file geometry/media_pnd.geo

Can somebody give me some hints about how to run the simulation usong g4?

Thank you.

Hallo Maria,

Can you put your modified stuff in the development branch so that I can test it? or make it readable for all on the GSI cluster. I could not access any of your files for testing.


regards

Mohammad

Hallo, Mohammad,

I made readable the trunk directory with all the changed stuff.

So the geometry is in geometry/dirc_l0.root,
simulation macro I used macro/drc/work1/LookupReco/sim_dirc.C
detector class drc/PndDrc.cxx

Thank you very much!
