Class Description :

  
     This is the abstract class for the implementation of parameterisations. 
     You have to inherit from it to implement your concrete parameterisation 
     model.

  G4VFastSimulationModel(const G4String& aName);
  // aName identifies the parameterisation model.

  G4VFastSimulationModel(const G4String& aName, G4Envelope*, 
			 G4bool IsUnique=FALSE);
  // This constructor allows you to get a quick "getting started".
  // In addition to the model name, this constructor accepts a G4LogicalVolume 
  // pointer. This volume will automatically becomes the envelope, and the 
  // needed G4FastSimulationManager object is constructed if necessary giving 
  // it the G4LogicalVolume pointer and the boolean value. If it already 
  // exists, the model is simply added to this manager. However the 
  // G4VFastSimulationModel object will not keep track of the envelope given 
  // in the constructor.
  // The boolean argument is there for optimization purpose: if you know that 
  // the G4LogicalVolume envelope is placed only once you can turn this 
  // boolean value to "true" (an automated mechanism is foreseen here.)


  virtual G4bool IsApplicable(const G4ParticleDefinition&) = 0;
  // In your implementation, you have to return "true" when your model is 
  // applicable to the G4ParticleDefinition passed to this method. The 
  // G4ParticleDefinition provides all intrisic particle informations (mass, 
  // charge, spin, name ...).

  virtual G4bool ModelTrigger(const G4FastTrack &) = 0;
  // You have to return "true" when the dynamics conditions to trigger your
  // parameterisation are fulfiled. The G4FastTrack provides you access to 
  // the current G4Track, gives simple access to envelope related features 
  // (G4LogicalVolume, G4VSolid, G4AffineTransform references between the 
  // global and the envelope local coordinates systems) and simple access to 
  // the position, momentum expressed in the envelope coordinate system. 
  // Using those quantities and the G4VSolid methods, you can for example 
  // easily check how far you are from the envelope boundary. 

  virtual void DoIt(const G4FastTrack&, G4FastStep&) = 0;
  // Your parameterisation properly said. The G4FastTrack reference provides 
  // input informations. The final state of the particles after parameterisation
  // has to be returned through the G4FastStep reference. This final state is 
  // described has "requests" the tracking will apply after your 
  // parameterisation has been invoked.
