Abstract

Mathematical model creation is a necessary stage in scientific apparatus development. The mathematical model of gamma-ray telescope GAMMA-400 is used to emulate transport of various elementary particles through the apparatus. The new iteration of the model is based on precise technical drawings and includes all the elements of the real gamma-telescope. It is created in Geant4 environment. This model allows calculation of energy deposition not only in detectors, but in any part of the apparatus, including construction elements. Moreover, it supports creation of virtual sensitive volumes, allowing determination of the number and properties of particles passing through an arbitrary part of the construction.Software for automated creation of Geant4 model based on technical drawings in STEP 3D Model format was developed. This software is capable of making models of other apparatus based particularly on scintillation and strip detectors.
