Hello.  As Flemming said, you are making mistake by using the 
calibration from the database.  To analyze geant data, you need to 
calibrate the geant data at first (exactly the same way as you would do 
for real data.)   Then, you must load those calibration data by 
SetLoadAscii method of calibration module. Now, assuming that you run 
your geant in a standard manner, you might find your needed calibrations 
in ~hito/analysis/calib_data/ directory.  You might also look at 
Digitize.C, Track.C and simDst.C in ~hito/analysis directory for how I 
use it.  They correspond to ltr/gtr/dst bratmain scripts for geant data.
