-==== Simulation configuration ====
-To set the general behaviour of a simulation, a config file mechanism is used. The singleton class ''PRIMASimulationConfig'' is responsible for reading the config file and providing the other classes with the specified config settings.
-=== How to define a new command ===
-  - Add the variable(s) containing the settings information to class ''PRIMASimulationConfig'', implementing the corresponding "get" method.
-  - Initialise these variables in the constructor using their default values.
-  - Add an ''if'' block in the ''while'' loop inside method ''PRIMASimulationConfig::ReadConfFile'', e.g. <code>
-if(key == "macro-file"){
-	macroFileName = value;
-	macroSpecified = 1;
-	cout<<"macro file name set to: "<<macroFileName<<endl;
-      }</code>
-   - Document the new command in this wiki page.
-\\
-=== List of commands ===
-  * Specify the root file where the geometry (''TGeoManager'' object) to be used in the simulation is saved.     <code>
-geometry-file <filename>
-</code>
-  * Specify the geant4 macro file to be executed. If this command is not used the geant4 interactive shell will be loaded. <code>
-macro-file <geant4 macro file>
-</code>
-  * Specify the root file where the simulation output is written. **Attention!** The specified file will be overwritten.<code>
-root-output-file test_bwec.root
-</code>
-  * Specify the primary generator to be used <code>
-primary-generator <generator>
-</code> Until now, the following options are available:
-    * ''particleGun'': uses the geant4 particle gun which can be set in the macro file
-    * ''p16uniform'': generates electron over the surface of proto16, placed at 1.2 m from the particle source. The electron energy is uniformly distributed between 100 MeV and 1500 MeV
