Member Function Documentation

composeFlexLayerName()

std::string Flex::composeFlexLayerName ( const char *  layer, Int_t  nbsensors, Int_t  iflag = -1  )

static

Name of one layer inside that flex: "lineslayer", "alulayer", "kaptonlayer" or "varnishlayer". The varnish is placed twice, iflag 0 in front of the cold plate and iflag 1 outside; the other layers take no iflag.

Definition at line 62 of file Flex.cxx.

composeFlexName()

std::string Flex::composeFlexName ( Int_t  nbsensors )

static

Name of the flex shared by every ladder carrying nbsensors sensors.

One flex is built per sensor-count class and placed on all the ladders of that class, so the name is keyed by the sensor count and no longer by half/disk/ladder. The ladder a given placement belongs to is still read from the node path, for example /cave_1/barrel_1/MFT_0/MFT_H_0_0/MFT_D_0_0_0/MFT_L_0_0_5_5/flex_3_1

getFlexVolume()

TGeoVolumeAssembly * Flex::getFlexVolume ( Int_t  nbsensors )

static

The flex volume of that class in the current geometry, or nullptr if it has none. Resolved by name, so it also answers on a geometry read back from a file. To go from a ladder to its flex, take the sensor count from GeometryTGeo::getNumberOfSensorsPerLadder(half, disk, ladder) and pass it here.
