OMSim Class Reference

Controls the main simulation process. More...

Detailed Description

The OMSim class is the top-level controller for the simulation. It sets up and manages the individual components of the Geant4 simulation, such as the run manager, the visualization manager, and the navigator. It also enables user interaction with the simulation through a command line interface and visualisation tools. This class is used in the main function of all studies as provides the basic flow of control of any Geant4 simulation.

Public Member Functions
void	initialiseSimulation (OMSimDetectorConstruction *pDetectorConstruction)
	Initialize the simulation constructing all Geant instances.
void	configureLogger ()
bool	handleArguments (int pArgumentCount, char *pArgumentVector[])
	Parses the user arguments into variables that can be accessed in the simulation via OMSimCommandArgsTable. More...
void	startVisualisation ()
	uiEx session is started for visualisation.
G4Navigator *	getNavigator ()
void	extendOptions (po::options_description pNewOptions)
	Adds options from the different simulation modules to the option description list (what is printed in –help).
