Description
Summary:Designing high energy physics detectors for future experiments requires sophisticated computer aided design and simulation tools. In order to satisfy the future demands in this domain, modern techniques, methods, and standards have to be applied. We present an interface application, designed and implemented using object-oriented techniques, for the widely used GEANT physics simulation package. It converts GEANT detector models into the future industrial standard, STEP.
