// G4BOptnForceFreeFlight
//
// Class Description:
//    A G4VBiasingOperation physics-based biasing operation.
//    If forces the physics process to not act on the track.
//    In this implementation (meant for the ForceCollision
//    operator) the free flight is done under zero weight for
//    the track, and the action is meant to accumulate the weight
//    change for making this uninteracting flight,
//    cumulatedWeightChange.
//    When the track reaches the current volume boundary, its
//    weight is restore with value :
//            initialWeight * cumulatedWeightChange
//
