/*! \page ExamplevecGeomNavigation Example vecGeomNavigation
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates integration of the navigation elements of
|
|
[VecGeom](https://gitlab.cern.ch/VecGeom/VecGeom), to investigate the
|
|
performance benefits.
|
|
|
|
This integration is in development. Supporting Placement volumes -- other
|
|
volumes would be handled by existing Geant4 navigation.
|
|
|
|
The example loads a GDML file for the geometry, and can execute a batch
|
|
file (first) or run interactive commands or both.
|

# Installation / Configuration
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
In addition to Geant4, two projects: are required VecGeom and G4VecGeomNav.
|
|
VecCore is also required, but can be found through VecGeom.
|
|
|
|
It is optionally possible to use Root in G4VecGeomNav to store voxel
|
|
information for safety computation. These can require significant computation
|
|
to calculate if at least one logical volume contains many daughter volume.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To configure you must set:
|
|
|
|
setenv CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${VECCORE_DIR}:${VECGEOM_DIR}"
|
|
|
|
or if you are using Vc from Root
|
|
|
|
setenv CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${ROOTSYS}:${VECGEOM_DIR}"
|
|
|
|
where VecGeom has also been built with the same installation of Vc from Root.
