G4VG
Abstract
G4VG reads the in-memory Geant4 geometry (the volume hierarchy and physical shape descriptions defined by a user application) and produces an equivalent VecGeom representation. This provides a direct bridge between Geant4 detector descriptions and VecGeom-based applications, eliminating the need for manual export pipelines or specialized GDML workflows. The code is adapted from the Celeritas project and developed as an independent utility for broader reuse.
