Re: interface to retrieve material cross-section

Hi VMC team,
A related request would be to have access to the GCMULO contents to retrieve the EKMIN, EKMAX values so that I have the range of KE for which the dE/dX and cross-section tables have been calculated. I understand that this can be done through the TGeant3 interface, but if this could be done in a generic way via the TVirtualMC interface that would be better. Thanks again,
-Sue
