The SLIC simulator package uses a low-level XML data format while the reconstruction uses a smaller, more targetted format called the "compact description". Using a compact geometry in the simulator requires converting it to LCDD first.
The full syntax for running GeomConverter is
GeomConverter [-o format] [<infile> [<outfile>]] |
If no output file is specified the GUI will be displayed. If no format is given the format will be guessed based on the output file.
java -jar ./target/bin/GeomConverter-VERSION-bin.jar -o lcdd compact.xml det.lcdd |
Windows users need to run GeomConverter.bat from the Windows command prompt instead of the GeomConverter script. |
The output LCDD file det.lcdd can be used as input to SLIC, which might look like this.
slic -g det.lcdd -z -n |
