The ACTS (A Common Tracking Software) package is a modular and efficient toolkit designed for tracking and simulation in high-energy physics experiments. Fatras, a fast simulation module within ACTS, employs simplified detector geometries and parameterized particle interaction models. Instead of transiting Geant4’s robust and detailed hadronic interaction modeling to a parameterized version, leveraging the Geant4 modeling could improve the Fatras simulation accuracy without significantly impacting the CPU performance. This project aims for a mapping tool to connect the two frameworks seamlessly by translating local geometry and material properties between ACTS and Geant4
