Running Mokka simulations locally

Extensive sets of simulations are already available or can

Testing Mokka

This is described in the ILCSoft wiki. One can try quickly:

. /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/ilc/software/ilcsoft/v01-14/init_ilcsoft.sh
cd /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/ilc/software/validation/StandardConfig/current
Mokka -M ILD_o1_v05 -e ./particle.tbl bbudsc_3evt.steer

Changing certain detector parameters

Detector parameters are taken from (a default) database. There are many versions of the ILC detectors. One can browse this database via the Mokka Detector Model Database Browser.

To change for example the number of layers in the Hcal, and the sensitive Si layer thickness in Ecal, one would add in the steering file

/Mokka/init/globalModelParameter Hcal_nlayers 36
/Mokka/init/globalModelParameter Ecal_Si_thickness 0.45

Mokka -M ILD_o1_v05 -U -e ./particle.tbl my_bbudsc_3evt.steer

Visualisation

To visualise the detector geometry set in the steering file for example:

/Mokka/init/BatchMode false

/vis/open OGL
/vis/scene/create 
/vis/drawVolume
/vis/viewer/set/viewpointThetaPhi 60 45

A good tutorial can be found here.

Running Mokka on the PPE batch farm

Here's a simple script (mokka_test.pbs) that runs the Mokka example on the PPE batch farm:

#PBS -N Mokka_test_1
#PBS -m abe
#PBS -M gary.smythe@glasgow.ac.uk
#PBS -q long5

echo "Running Mokka test 1 ..." 

. /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/ilc/software/ilcsoft/v01-14/init_ilcsoft.sh
cd /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/ilc/software/validation/StandardConfig/current
Mokka -M ILD_o1_v05 -e ./particle.tbl bbudsc_3evt.steer

echo "Mokka test 1 done!"
