[Castor-users] A problem : Different Castor (castorGATERootToCastor) results with same GATE geometry architectures

[ahwxz123 at mail.ustc.edu.cn]

Dear Castor users,
I am a beginner using GATE and Castor. Recently I found an interesting situation when i used castor-GATERootToCastor  to reconstruct the GATE results, it seemed that  Castor unitID probably did not match to every GATE geometry definition. (More detail in attachment PDF file)
In GATE simulation  there are many ways to establish geometry architecture. i could  start planting  the rsector at any axis , and after repeating units,  and rotating the angle to define the first rsector location.   But i received  the different results from two GATE seemed same geometry simulation when i used converted inputfile from castor-GATERootToCastor.  I checked and found that the detector unitID are different in GATE geometry, so castor-GATERootToCastor should not directly use the ID form GATE, or  it is better to verify  these ID were quite correctly good in  castor -GATERootToCastor.
I wrote two GATE mac files in attachments with different start-rsector planting, if you are interested in the comparison  of GATE results  , you can check and do some simulation.(PS: before runnig the mac files , please reset GATEMeterials.db path in your PC). 
 
regards,
