Detailed Description

Magnetic field map.

It can be used directly using a DBObjPtr<MagneticField> instance in your class. Alternatively there is a BFieldManager class which encapsulates the DBObjPtr already. Field evaluation is then a simple call to BFieldManager::getField().

This class contains the Magnetic field map to be stored in the Database and used during simulation and reconstruction. The field can be assembled from multiple components (constant, 3D, 2D, ...) in different regions. By default all components valid in a certain region will be added to obtain the final field value but components can also be flagged as exclusive in which case only the field of this particular component will be returned.
