Results and formats

Output results produced include scalars, as in the case of total dose in a volume, but also histograms, as for the LET spectrum, and tables, as for the fluence hits at a surface.

Output formats:

  • ROOT output : histograms and tuples are also saved in a ROOT file.

  • CSV output: in addition, Comma Separated Value (CSV) text files are produced (if requested) through an internal module (SpenvisCVS). The CSV output files contain both scalar and histogram results. The format of this file follows the SPENVIS standard 11.

  • LOG output: GRAS prints to the terminal part of the information on the program configuration. The level of detail of the information that is available in the terminal output largely depends on the level of verbosity set by the user. Summary results are also printed to the terminal for each analysis module at the end of each run. It is advisable to save the log information into a file for later analyses.

    Note

    ROOT (without tuples information) and CSV files are written during the simulation at a rate determined by the “print modulo” parameter with an _intermediate extension to the filename. Due to MT support, the files will be saved at the first “print module” specified event with a time interval of at least 5 minutes between the outputs.
