users</font></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font face="Calibri">I work with
gate4.00 for dosimetry application.</font></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font face="Calibri">I have
a question about random seed number. </font></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font face="Calibri">When I run a
simulation two times the results are exactly the same. </font></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font face="Calibri">I tried
gate4 user’s guide to change random seed for each simulation. But the
system produced the following error message: </font></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: red;"><font face="Calibri">**********Illegal parameter /gate/output/root/setsaverndmflag
0***************</font></span></p>

interrupted******************************</font></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font face="Calibri">I
tried Simon recommendation to change the MTwistEngine random generator to
its old version HepJamesRandom but the results of two simulations
remains unchanged. </font></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font face="Calibri">I
also tried Erin McKay to activate MTwistEngine random generator but the
results still unchanged. </font></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><font face="Calibri">I would like
to know how I can add these lines to gateseeder.cc file and which lines and
which other files will be changed?</font></p>best regard<br>-- <br>Ali Asghar Parach,Ph.D. student in Medical Physics,Tarbiat Modares University,Tehran,Iran<br>
