Detailed Description

DDMaterial is used to define and access material information.

An object of this class is a reference-object and thus leightweighted. It is uniquely identified by its DDName. Further details concerning reference-objects can be found in the documentation of DDLogicalPart.

A DDMaterial can recursively consist of compound materials (which are DDMaterials as well). Materials consisting of compound materials are called mixtures. Mixtures are defined by their Materials which do not consist of compound materials are called elementary materials.

To define an elementray material, use it like this:

    DDMaterial hydrogen("Hydrogen", 
                        double z=1, 
                        double a=1.1*g/mole, 
                        density=2*g/cm3);

To define a mixture:

    DDMaterial mixt("Mix", double density = 5*g/cm3);
    mixt.addMaterial(hydrogen,0.3);
    // code for additional compounds belonging to the mixture ...

Note the usage of CLHEP/SystemOfUnits to specify the units of the quantities making up a material.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DDMaterial::DDMaterial ( )

Creates a uninitialized reference-object (see DDLogicalPart documentation for details on reference objects)

Definition at line 13 of file DDMaterial.cc.

DDMaterial::DDMaterial ( const DDName name)

Creates a initialized reference-object or a reference to an allready defined material.

If a DDMaterial with name was already defined, this constructor creates a reference object to the defined material. Otherwise it creates a (default) initialized reference-object to a material with DDName name.

For further details concerning the usage of reference-objects refere to the documentation of DDLogicalPart.

  prep_ = StoreT::instance().create(name);
}
DDMaterial::DDMaterial ( const DDName name,
double  z,
double  a,
double  d 
)

Constructor for construction of an elementary material.

  • z atomic number
  • a atomic mass
  • density density

Example:

     DDMaterial hydrogen("Hydrogen", 
                          double z=1, 
                          double a=1.1*g/mole, 
                          density=2*g/cm3);

 : DDBase<DDName,Material*>()
{ 
  prep_ = StoreT::instance().create(name, new Material(z, a, d));
}
DDMaterial::DDMaterial ( const DDName name,
double  density 
)

Constructor for mixtures.

For a mixture material it is sufficient to specify the density of the mixture (in addition to the name). The compounds are added by using the addMaterial(..) method.

The result of this constructor is a reference-object. One can use the mixture material immidiately (without specifying the compund materials). Compound materials can be added at any later stage.

For further details concerning the usage of reference-objects refere to the documentation of DDLogicalPart.
