The Filter Component
Block of an attenuating material
Identification
- Site:
- Author: Erik Knudsen
- Origin: DTU Physics
- Date: Jan 24, 2011
Description
A chunk of attenuating material. Attenuation is computed through the effective length travelled within the material. No scattering is modelled at present. The material may take the shape of a block, a cylinder, a sphere, or a general polygonalized shape through an off/ply file.
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.| Name | Unit | Description | Default | |
| refraction | If nonzero, refraction is enabled. | 1 | ||
| fixed_delta | Use a fixed delta to compute refraction - useful for debugging. | 0 | ||
| delta | Value for the fixed delta. | 0 | ||
| material_datafile | string | File where the material parameters for the filter may be found. Format is similar to what may be found off the NISP website. | "Be.txt" | |
| geometry | string | File (off/ply) containing the polygon definition of a general shape object. | 0 | |
| xwidth | m | Width of block. | 0 | |
| yheight | m | Height of block or cylinder. | 0 | |
| zdepth | m | Thickness of block. | 0 | |
| radius | m | Raidus of cylinder or sphere. | 0 |
| AT ( | , | , | ) RELATIVE | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ROTATED ( | , | , | ) RELATIVE |
