- Description:
Cell Models for TOPAS/Geant4 and the inclusion of nano particles in particle scattering simulations.
The C++ classes in this repository extend the functionality of the TOPAS (http://www.topasmc.org/) Monte-Carlo program, which is itself a wrapper of the Geant4 MCS Toolkit (http://geant4.org).
- Installation:
Installation:
Navigate to the TOPAS extension directory:
cd ~/topas_extensions/
Clone or download the sourcecode into your TOPAS extension directory:
git clone https://github.com/BAMresearch/TOPAS-CellModels.git
Change to your topas directory:
cd ~/Topas/
Install it:
cmake ./ -DTOPAS_EXTENSIONS_DIR=~/topas_extensions/TOPAS-CellModels && make -j4
- Description:
A simple spherical cell with nanoparticles can be generated in a fast manner. The user has the option to include nanoparticles and different organelles in the cell, e.g. a nucleus, mitochondria, a cell membrane. Details can be found in https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-85964-2
- Usage:
Examples can be found in the "examples/" directory.
- Bugs:
Please report bugs to hahn@physik.fu-berlin.de or on https://github.com/BAMresearch/TOPAS-CellModels
