Sketches : GDML Object from FreeCAD Sketches - KeithSloan/GDML GitHub Wiki
Export of FreeCAD sketches as GDML objects.
The GDML workbench now supports creating a GDML object from a FreeCAD Sketch currently
Restrictions
- Sketch should be made in the X-Y Plane ( Created Objects can be rotated )
- Extrusion & Revolutions should be on the z-axis
Document structure
- Extrusion should be in a single GDML volume (FreeCAD Part)
Allocated Material
Suggestion is to use toolbar Set Material facility.
On GDML Export
- The extruded sketch is processed to create a series of booleans of GDML solids.
- Import of the exported file will show the booleans and structure in the FreeCAD Treeview
Display in GEANT4
- Some objects will only display as point clouds, this is due to limitations in Geant4 ablity to display certain forms, it does not affect any simulation
- Solution is to display everything as a cloud by issuing
/vis/viewer/set/style cloud
