The Union_box Component
A sample component to separate geometry and physics
Identification

- Author: Mads Bertelsen and Erik B Knudsen
- Origin: ESS DMSC & DTU Physics
- Date: 20.08.15
Description
Part of the Union components, a set of components that work together and thus separates geometry and physics within McXtrace. The use of this component requires other components to be used. 1) One specifies a number of processes using process components 2) These are gathered into material definitions using Union_make_material 3) Geometries are placed using Union_box/cylinder/sphere, assigned a material 4) A Union_master component placed after all of the above Only in step 4 will any simulation happen, and per default all geometries defined before this master, but after the previous will be simulated here. There is a dedicated manual available for the Union components The position of this component is the center of the box, zdepth/2 in each direction. It is allowed to overlap components, but it is not allowed to have two parallel planes that coincide. This will crash the code on run time. Algorithm: Described elsewhere
