The choice of HELIX or RKUTA is done in the config file when the magnetic field is defined:

-TRACKING must be 1 for RKUTA and 2 for HELIX (the default value for aliroot is 2 (HELIX)) -FACTOR allows you to set the magnetic field to 0, just putting FACTOR=0. Default value is 1. -MAXB is the maximum magnetic field which is 10.T +INTEG must be 1 for RKUTA and 2 for HELIX (the default value for aliroot is 2 (HELIX)). +FACTOR_SOL, FACTOR_DIP allow you to set the multiplicative factor for solenoid +and dipole, respectively; just putting FACTOR_SOL=0 or FACTOR_DIP=0 will set the +magnetic field for solenoid or dipole to 0.
