User Interface (UI)

The application is controlled entirely via scripting, which can be performed at the Command line or via macro files. All of the GRAS features are selectable via UI commands. This includes for example the selection of the geometry GDML file, the physics models, the insertion of analysis modules, and for each module the definition of the relevant parameters, such as the volumes in which the analysis has to be performed or the units for the result printout.

In the definition of the analysis to be performed during the simulation, the user can easily access the parameters of each individual module, thanks to a specific “object oriented” mechanism for the automatic creation of UI commands for each analysis module inserted. More details on the scripting and its usage can be found in the following sections: scripting examples are provided for each of the simulation components throughout the manual.
