Break Segmentation violation

Hello,
The code compiled properly without any error. But, when i run the executable i get the following error:

` *** Break *** segmentation violation

There was a crash.

I have sourced the geant and root properly.
Thanks in advance!

Looks as if you might have a problem in UCNBDetectorConstruction::Construct at the point at which you call G4LogicalVolume::SetVisAttributes.

Without more information I cannot say what to might be. Just have a look at your code. Perhaps compile in debug mode so that you get more information when it crashes. And you can step through your program to see what’s happening.

A typical error would be to instantiate a local G4VisAttributes, then pass the address to G4LogicalVolume, which then becomes invalid when the G4VisAttributes object goes out of scope. The solution would be to create a long lasting G4VisAttributes with new.

Thank you !
