Hello ROOTers,
I would like to know how to modify the shape of a geo volume after calling gGeoManager->CloseGeometry(). What I want to do is to optimize the shape of a TGeoPgon to obtain the maximum collection efficiency of a light guide in my simulation. In the optimization process, I would like to tweak the shape the TGeoPgon slightly but other volume will not be changed.
Do I have to re-build all volumes again? or is there any way to change the shape after closing the geometry as following example?
gGeoManager->CloseGeometry();
(some simulation code here)
gGeoManager->ReopenGeometry(); // I could not a similar method
myPgonVolume->DefineSection(i, z, rmin, rmax); // change the shape of a Pgon
gGeoManager->CloseGeometry(); // close again
(some simulation code here again)
Regards,
