Detailed Description

Parse GDML files, build the geometry in memory and load it into Geant4.

This class extends the interface Parser which allows creation of the parser at runtime via a factory.

getDetectorName()

std::string simcore::geo::GDMLParser::getDetectorName ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the name of the parsed detector.

This name is typically extracted from the file containing the detector description.

Returns

The name of the detector.

Implements simcore::geo::Parser.

getWorldVolume()

G4VPhysicalVolume * simcore::geo::GDMLParser::getWorldVolume ( )

overridevirtual

Retrieve the G4VPhysicalVolume associated with the most top-level (world) volume.

Returns

The world volume.

Implements simcore::geo::Parser.

read()

void simcore::geo::GDMLParser::read ( )

overridevirtual

Parse the detector geometry and read it into memory.
