---|
| 45 | The STEP standard supports multiple solid representations. Constructive |
---|
| 46 | Solid Geometry (CSG) representations and Boundary Represented Solids (BREPs) |
---|
| 47 | are available. Different representations are suitable for different |
---|
| 48 | purposes, applications, required complexity, and levels of detail. |
---|
| 49 | CSG representations are easy to use and normally give superior performance, |
---|
| 50 | but they cannot reproduce complex solids such as those used in CAD systems. |
---|
| 51 | BREP representations can handle more extended topologies and reproduce the |
---|
| 52 | most complex solids, thus allowing the exchange of models with CAD systems. |
---|
| 53 | <br> |
---|
| 54 | All constructed solids can stream out their contents via appropriate methods |
---|
| 55 | and streaming operators. |
---|
| 56 | </p> |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
| 58 | <p> |
---|
| 59 | For all solids it is possible to estimate the geometrical volume and the |
---|
| 60 | surface area by invoking the methods: |
---|
| 61 | <pre> |
---|
| 62 | G4double GetCubicVolume() |
---|
| 63 | G4double GetSurfaceArea() |
---|
| 64 | </pre> |
---|
| 65 | which return an estimate of the solid volume and total area in internal |
---|
| 66 | units respectively. For elementary solids the functions compute the exact |
---|
| 67 | geometrical quantities, while for composite or complex solids an estimate |
---|
| 68 | is made using Monte Carlo techniques. |
---|
| 69 | </p> |
---|
| 70 | |
---|
| 71 | <p> |
---|
| 72 | For all solids it is also possible to generate pseudo-random points lying |
---|
| 73 | on their surfaces, by invoking the method |
---|
| 74 | <pre> |
---|
| 75 | G4ThreeVector GetPointOnSurface() const |
---|
| 76 | </pre> |
---|
| 77 | which returns the generated point in local coordinates relative to the solid. |
---|
| 78 | </p> |

| 82 | |
---|
| 83 | CSG solids are defined directly as three-dimensional primitives. They are |
---|
| 84 | described by a minimal set of parameters necessary to define the shape and |
---|
| 85 | size of the solid. CSG solids are Boxes, Tubes and their sections, Cones |
---|
| 86 | and their sections, Spheres, Wedges, and Toruses. |

---|
| 1310 | Simple solids can be combined using Boolean operations. |

| 1311 | For example, a cylinder and a half-sphere can be combined with the |
---|
| 1312 | union Boolean operation. |
---|
| 1313 | <P> |
---|
| 1314 | Creating such a new <i>Boolean</i> solid, requires: |

| 1315 | <UL> |
---|
| 1316 | <LI>Two solids |
---|
| 1317 | <LI>A Boolean operation: union, intersection or subtraction. |
---|
| 1318 | <LI>Optionally a transformation for the second solid. |
---|
| 1319 | </UL></P> |
---|
| 1320 | <P> |
---|
| 1321 | The solids used should be either CSG solids (for examples a box, a |
---|
| 1322 | spherical shell, or a tube) or another Boolean solid: the product of a |
---|
| 1323 | previous Boolean operation. |
---|
| 1324 | An important purpose of Boolean solids is to allow the description of |
---|
| 1325 | solids with peculiar shapes in a simple and intuitive way, still allowing |
---|
| 1326 | an efficient geometrical navigation inside them.</P> |
---|
| 1327 | <P> |
---|
| 1328 | Note: The solids used can actually be of any type. However, in order to |
---|
| 1329 | fully support the export of a Geant4 solid model via STEP to CAD |
---|
| 1330 | systems, we restrict the use of Boolean operations to this subset of |
---|
| 1331 | solids. But this subset contains all the most interesting use cases.</P> |
---|
| 1332 | <P> |
---|
| 1333 | Note: The tracking cost for navigating in a Boolean solid in the |
---|
| 1334 | current implementation, is proportional to the number of constituent |
---|
| 1335 | solids. So care must be taken to avoid extensive, unecessary use of |
---|
| 1336 | Boolean solids in performance-critical areas of a geometry description, |
---|
| 1337 | where each solid is created from Boolean combinations of many other |
---|
| 1338 | solids.</P> |

---|
| 1346 | new G4Tubs("Cylinder",0,50*mm,50*mm,0,twopi); // r: 0 mm -> 50 mm |
---|
| 1347 | // z: -50 mm -> 50 mm |
---|
| 1348 | // phi: 0 -> 2 pi |
---|
| 1349 | G4UnionSolid* union = |

---|

---|
| 1359 | <P> |
---|
| 1360 | The more useful case where one of the solids is displaced from the |
---|
| 1361 | origin of coordinates also exists. In this case the second solid is |
---|
| 1362 | positioned relative to the coordinate system (and thus relative to the |
---|
| 1363 | first). This can be done in two ways: |
---|
| 1364 | <UL> |
---|
| 1365 | <LI>Either by giving a rotation matrix and translation vector that |
---|
| 1366 | are used to transform the coordinate system of the second solid to the |
---|
| 1367 | coordinate system of the first solid. This is called the <I>passive</I> |
---|
| 1368 | method. |
---|
| 1369 | <LI>Or by creating a transformation that moves the second solid from |
---|
| 1370 | its desired position to its standard position, e.g., a box's standard |
---|
| 1371 | position is with its centre at the origin and sides parallel to the |

| 1373 | </UL></P> |
---|
| 1374 | <P> |
---|
| 1375 | In the first case, the translation is applied first to move the origin |

| 1376 | of coordinates. Then the rotation is used to rotate the |
---|
| 1377 | coordinate system of the second solid to the coordinate system of the |
---|
| 1378 | first.</P> |

---|
| 1401 | (<tt>G4RotationMatrix*</tt>), does NOT copy it. |
---|
| 1402 | Therefore once used a rotation-matrix to construct a Boolean solid, it must |
---|
| 1403 | NOT be modified.<BR> |
---|
| 1404 | In contrast, with the alternative method shown, a <tt>G4Transform3D</tt> is |

---|

---|
| 1420 | Eventually these can be trimmed and have holes. |

---|
| 1425 | or of NURBS (Non-Uniform-Rational-B-Splines) surfaces. |
---|
| 1426 | The resulting solids are Advanced BREPS.<BR> |
---|
| 1427 | <b>Note</b> - <i>Currently, the implementation for surfaces generated by Beziers, B-Splines |
---|
| 1428 | or NURBS is only at the level of prototype and not fully functional</i>.<BR> |

---|
| 1434 | (CSGs). We summarize their capabilities in the following section.</P> |
---|
| 1435 | <P> |
---|
| 1436 | However most BREPS Solids are defined by creating each surface separately |
---|
| 1437 | and tying them together. Though it is possible to do this using code, it is |
---|
| 1438 | potentially error prone. So it is generally much more productive to utilize a tool |
