Detailed Description

The full Geant4 simulation module.

This module provides the full Geant4 simulation for the framework. It initializes Geant4, calls the converter to translate the ROOT TGeo volumes/materials to native Geant4 volumes/materials, initializes the physics processes and user actions.

This module requires a valid geometry in memory (gGeoManager). Therefore, a geometry building module should have been executed before this module is called.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ EModulePropFlags

enum EModulePropFlags
inherited

Each module can be tagged with property flags, which indicate certain features of the module.

Enumerator
c_Input 

This module is an input module (reads data).

c_Output 

This module is an output module (writes data).

c_ParallelProcessingCertified 

This module can be run in parallel processing mode safely (All I/O must be done through the data store, in particular, the module must not write any files.)

c_HistogramManager 

This module is used to manage histograms accumulated by other modules.

c_InternalSerializer 

This module is an internal serializer/deserializer for parallel processing.

c_TerminateInAllProcesses 

When using parallel processing, call this module's terminate() function in all processes().

This will also ensure that there is exactly one process (single-core if no parallel modules found) or at least one input, one main and one output process.

c_DontCollectStatistics 

No statistics is collected for this module.

bool evalCondition ( ) const
inherited

If at least one condition was set, it is evaluated and true returned if at least one condition returns true.

If no condition or result value was defined, the method returns false. Otherwise, the condition is evaluated and true returned, if at least one condition returns true. To speed up the evaluation, the condition strings were already parsed in the method if_value().

Returns
True if at least one condition and return value exists and at least one condition expression was evaluated to true.

◆ getAfterConditionPath()

Module::EAfterConditionPath getAfterConditionPath ( ) const
inherited

What to do after the conditional path is finished.

(defaults to c_End if no condition is set)

Definition at line 133 of file Module.cc.

◆ getConditionPath()

std::shared_ptr< Path > getConditionPath ( ) const
inherited

Returns the path of the last true condition (if there is at least one, else reaturn a null pointer).

◆ getFileNames()

virtual std::vector<std::string> getFileNames ( bool  outputFiles)
inlinevirtualinherited

Return a list of output filenames for this modules.

This will be called when basf2 is run with "--dry-run" if the module has set either the c_Input or c_Output properties.

If the parameter outputFiles is false (for modules with c_Input) the list of input filenames should be returned (if any). If outputFiles is true (for modules with c_Output) the list of output files should be returned (if any).

If a module has sat both properties this member is called twice, once for each property.

The module should return the actual list of requested input or produced output filenames (including handling of input/output overrides) so that the grid system can handle input/output files correctly.

This function should return the same value when called multiple times. This is especially important when taking the input/output overrides from Environment as they get consumed when obtained so the finalized list of output files should be stored for subsequent calls.

Reimplemented in RootOutputModule, StorageRootOutputModule, and RootInputModule.

◆ getName()

const std::string& getName ( ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the name of the module.

This can be changed via e.g. set_name() in the steering file to give more useful names if there is more than one module of the same type.

For identifying the type of a module, using getType() (or type() in Python) is recommended.

Definition at line 187 of file Module.h.

◆ getParamInfoListPython()

std::shared_ptr< boost::python::list > getParamInfoListPython ( ) const
inherited

Returns a python list of all parameters.

Each item in the list consists of the name of the parameter, a string describing its type, a python list of all default values and the description of the parameter.

Returns
A python list containing the parameters of this parameter list.

Definition at line 279 of file Module.cc.

◆ getReturnValue()

int getReturnValue ( ) const
inlineinherited

Definition at line 381 of file Module.h.

◆ getType()

const std::string & getType ( ) const
inherited

class name minus 'Module')

Definition at line 41 of file Module.cc.

◆ hasProperties()

bool hasProperties ( unsigned int  propertyFlags) const
inherited

Returns true if all specified property flags are available in this module.

Parameters

◆ if_false()

void if_false ( const std::shared_ptr< Path > &  path,
EAfterConditionPath  afterConditionPath = EAfterConditionPath::c_End 
)
inherited

A simplified version to add a condition to the module.

Please note that successive calls of this function will add more than one condition to the module. If more than one condition results in true, only the last of them will be used.

Please be careful: Avoid creating cyclic paths, e.g. by linking a condition to a path which is processed before the path where this module is located in.

It is equivalent to the if_value() method, using the expression "<1". This method is meant to be used together with the setReturnValue(bool value) method.

Parameters
pathShared pointer to the Path which will be executed if the return value is false.
afterConditionPathWhat to do after executing 'path'.

Definition at line 85 of file Module.cc.

◆ if_true()

void if_true ( const std::shared_ptr< Path > &  path,
EAfterConditionPath  afterConditionPath = EAfterConditionPath::c_End 
)
inherited

A simplified version to set the condition of the module.

Please note that successive calls of this function will add more than one condition to the module. If more than one condition results in true, only the last of them will be used.

Please be careful: Avoid creating cyclic paths, e.g. by linking a condition to a path which is processed before the path where this module is located in.

It is equivalent to the if_value() method, using the expression ">=1". This method is meant to be used together with the setReturnValue(bool value) method.

Parameters

◆ if_value()

void if_value ( const std::string &  expression,
const std::shared_ptr< Path > &  path,
EAfterConditionPath  afterConditionPath = EAfterConditionPath::c_End

Add a condition to the module.

Please note that successive calls of this function will add more than one condition to the module. If more than one condition results in true, only the last of them will be used.

See https://confluence.desy.de/display/BI/Software+ModCondTut or ModuleCondition for a description of the syntax.
