GeoModel 4.5.0 changes ATLAS full simulation output
This is a follow-up to the discussion we had in the ATLAS DD technical weekly meeting on August 28. It turns out that GeoModel 4.5.0 changed the output of ATLAS full simulation for Run2 and Run3 configurations. This was discovered when we attempted to switch Athena to GeoModel 4.5.0 in this MR. AthSimulation
tests failed because of the GeoModel version update. Here is the list of the failed tests:
CITest_SimulationRun2FullSimChecks_ctest
CITest_SimulationRun3FullSimChecks_ctest
CITest_SimulationRun2FullSimLegacy_ctest
CITest_SimulationRun3FullSimLegacy_ctest
CITest_SimulationRun3HitsMergeWithSort_ctest
I tracked down the source of these differences to !195 (merged) which changed the way volumes get calculated for several GeoModel shapes.
@evc, could you please comment on whether the changes in simulation output were expected? If you think this can be useful for you, then you can find reference outputs as well as the outputs produced with !195 (merged) at the locations listed below:
