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.
maven run |
maven -Drun.install=`pwd` run:install |
./bin/GeomConverter -o lcdd compact.xml det.lcdd |
Windows users need to run GeomConverter.bat from the Windows command prompt instead of the GeomConverter script. |
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.
The output LCDD file det.lcdd can be used as input to SLIC, which might look like this.
slic -g det.lcdd -z -n |
