#Volume of a hexagonal prism full

Logical volume describes a volume’s full properties (material, magnetic field, …), except position. Solids have only shape (box, tube, extruded solid, …) Geant4 uses the following concepts in the description of a detector geometry: Thank you a lot and I apologise for the many questions. I think the extruded is the most easy way but what about if we had many strips to create the hexagonal shape would it be very complex for a number of shapes? And I want the hexagon to have the same thickness of the box.ĭo I have to place the hexagon somehow in order to see it? Also the if I want to make many I do replica?

G4VSolid xtru = new G4ExtrudedSolid(“Extruded”, dz, offsetA, scaleA, offsetB, scaleB) What exactly is dR and dz? I do not know what number I have to put in order to see it. It runs without a problem but when I plot it I cannot see the hexagon, only the box. I would like to have the same thickness as the box. So I defined the box, and then tried to place (for start) an hexagonal prism (G4ExtrudedSolid) as daughter volume into the box. I would like to make a canonical hexagon inside an orthogonal shape.

But I would like also to ask you some questions.įorgive me if what I ask is too obvious but I just started with geant4 and I am still trying to read and understand all the documentation while building the geometry I want. I used exact code like yours: const G4int nsect = 3 //3,4,5,6įor (G4int i = 0 i int rounding in some places? The 4,5 -angle prisms demonstrated clearly visible distortion when I generated a VRML scene to check how it looks. I generated 3,4,5,6-angle prisms (scintillator) with the Radius 7.5mm. I have found a strange issue with G4Extruded solid.
