• Native Geant4 volumes
• Cad imports definitions
• Materials, including optical properties
• Optical surfaces
• Sensitivity parameters

The supported databases are:

• ASCII:
  • ASCII Files are used to store GEMC simulation parameters.
  • Search paths include the launch dir and the $GEMC_DATA_DIR directory.
  • Created by default: true
    
    
• SQLITE:
  • An SQLite database is used to store GEMC simulation parameters
