Monte Carlo simulator

Please contact Alan Bleier or Amrita Banerjee for training

Description:

TRACER includes all the essentials needed to combine Monte-Carlo Point Spread Functions (PSFs) and process PSFs into one effective PSF that describe a particular process, to archive and maintain these functions.

 Generated PSFs may then be loaded into Beamer.

Capabilities:

  • Monte Carlo simulator that allows to compute the electron-solid interaction part of the exposure
  • Archive/maintain/manage all point spread functions
  • Visualization tool that allows to make a judgment on the quality of the PSF

  • Facilitator to combine electron PSFs and process PSFs into an effective PSF or to separate out the process contribution PSF from an experimental PSF

Invoking:

On the CNF conversion computers, the current version of GenISys LayoutLAB can be invoked with any of the following commands (don't type in the dollar sign, that is the command prompt):

$ tracer

Documentation:

Material Archive:

You will not have file system permissions to write into the default location for the Material Archive. Instead, you should:

  1. Create a local directory
  2. Copy the files from the Tracer install location's MaterialArchive folder to that local directory (see example commands below).
  3. In the File → Properties menu dialogue, click on the Archives tab and set the directory you created as the Material Archive Directory.

After making the above changes, you may have to expand/collapse the tree in the left pane of TRACER a few times.

You will also need to update the archive preference in LayoutBEAMER to point to your local copy of the Material Archive.

You can create a local copy of the archive using the following terminal commands:


$ mkdir ~/MaterialArchive
 
# Determine the TRACER version number with:
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/TRACER
 
# Substitute in the version number for <version_number>
$ rsync -av /opt/local/TRACER/<version_number>/bin/MaterialArchive/ ~/MaterialArchive/
 


# For example:
ls -l /etc/alternatives/TRACER

# Gives output:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 34 Sep 17  2020 /etc/alternatives/TRACER -> /opt/local/TRACER/2.8.1/run_TRACER

# The set of numbers between "TRACER/" and "/run_TRACER" is the version number.
rsync -av /opt/local/TRACER/2.8.1/bin/MaterialArchive/ ~/MaterialArchive/

# The above rsync command will fail if the ~/MaterialArchive/ folder does not exist. Don't forget to first:
mkdir ~/MaterialArchive
