+// Basic idea:
+// 1. Create the Hcal module envelope.
+// Note: with default material air.

+// 2. Create the Hcal Layer.
+// Create the Layer with slices (Steel235,Polystyrene,Cu,FR4,air).
+// Place each slice into the layer with the right position,
+// And registry the ID for slices
+//
+// 3. Place the same Layer into the module envelope.
+// It will be repeated, and registry the IDs for layer.
+//
+// 4. Place the module into the world volume,
+// with the right position and rotation.
+// And registry the ID for System.
