Description

Creating a relatively simple geometry for the cosmic tests and putting in a vritual module does not produce the expected output.
Run on a clean install of maus-v0.1.4

As far as I can see from the log file the geometry is picked up OK and the visible part of the geometry is certaily reflected in the output picture.

run with "./simulate_mice.py -configuration_file=datacard > log"

It would be good if someone could look at the files and see if there is any obvious silly which would stop this working

I added a virtual planes integration test. Not in the trunk yet, but looks like it more or less works. Have a look here:

The only thing I found, looks like the AllowBackwards option isn't working (still investigating that one). Otherwise though looks like they work fine. I attached a sample output files with virtual planes in it.

The only thing I notice in your inputs - the beam starts outside the world volume. Not sure what that does (you start at -5760 mm, world volume is 5 m long so -2.5 to +2,5 m

Note that AllowBackwards option was okay, but default was true (not false as in documentation)

Virtual hits are not produced if the beam origin are outside the world volume (but other hits are).
I think you can close this one.

Okay, but I raised a new issue #934 on primaries outside world volume
