"segment fault" on Geant4 format

[vagnercassola]

Dear Haegin Han,

Thanks for your share your amazing work.

I'm trying to use the geant4 format on (geant4.10.06.p02), but I'm getting "segment fault" when the physics are loading.

The error seems to be connected with the materials of parameterized volume, maybe I'm creating the ".material" file wrong - I didn't find an example of how to create it. For example, when I changed the "TetParameterisation::ComputeMaterial" to return an simple material without using the "tetData->GetMaterial" the code works fine.

Could you, please, check my input files (it's just an sphere of water)? sphere.zip

I think, would be great if you could share an simple example with 1, 2 or more 3D objects, so we could test if the code is running ok.

Kind regards Vagner

PS: On "init_vis.mac", the source setting file (source.mac) is missing.

Dear Vagner,

Thank you for pointing out the missing source.mac file. I changed the code not to use source.mac for visualization and I also changed the README file accordingly.

For the core dump, I agree with you: it may because of the wrong material file. A mentioned in the article paper, you should provide material file in MCNP format (or PHITS format). In your case, this will look like this:

C water 1.00 g/cm3
m100 1000 -0.11190
          8000 -0.88810

I think this may be confusing for the users who dose not use MCNP. I will put this example on the README file as well :-) Please let me know if you have further questions.

Best regards, Haegin

Dear Haegin,

Thank you for replying. I was not aware about the MCNP format (or PHITS format), I have never used these codes, I only have experience in GEANT4 and EGSnrc :-)

I made the changes and the code seems to work perfectly (yay!). Now, I'll do more tests with other phantoms ;-)

With thanks, Vagner
