| ===== Computational domain ===== | ===== Computational domain ===== | ||
| + | The calculation is performed on a rectangular domain that is divided into | ||
| + | rectangular voxels. Through these voxels the rays are passing, leaving some intensity | ||
| + | information there to be accumulated, summed with the other rays or being somehow interpreted. | ||
| + | The first information that needs to be given is the voxel size. This can be in principle | ||
| + | different in different directions, which can be useful especially to treat the different sample scale | ||
| + | in lateral directions (xy) and z direction. Even if most of the algorithms are not related to any | ||
| + | particular sample orientation, some sources are, so we recommend to have the sample oriented with surface | ||
| + | normal pointing the z direction. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The following input file example sets the x,y and z voxel size to 1 nm (note that all the quantities are always in base SI units). | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | POOL | ||
| + | 1e-9 1e-9 1e-9 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then we need to setup the number of voxels in each direction to be used. This is done together with setting up the sample data, so it is a part of medium loading. If we use simple vector objects to generate the medium, we specify the voxel size in this step, like shown here for 300x300x200 voxels computational domain (followed by the vector objects file and materials table): | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | MEDIUM_VECTOR_SAMPLE | ||
| + | 300 300 200 object.vector mat.table | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | If we provide the medium as a regular structured Ascii VTK file (where the provided numbers are directly the material indices), the medium size is loaded from the VTK file, so there is no need for providing it separately, as shown here: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | MEDIUM_SAMPLE | ||
| + | sphere.vtk sphere.table | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that the computational domain size is used in many places through the software, so it is e.g. size of the output planes or output VTK data. | ||
| + | |||
| + | More details about the sample geometry definition can be found in the [[sample_geometry|sample geometry]] section. | ||
