Hi,Didier

    Ok,Iknow, thank you! 
Do you have any suggestion about visualization?

Best Regards,

Hi Cao,


If you don't want the Bremsstrahlung for the e+ it's not important. It's just a warning in this case.


Kind Regards,
Didier

hi, Didier

   Thank you for your help, I think you conclusion is right, I check diable the visualization, it can run properly and the results is reasonable.
But  there is a warning of e+:

Particle: e+
    * Model(s):
       - <!> *** Warning *** <!> No model selected!

I don't know if  it will effect the programs.

I checked the run informations with visualization, there is no obvious mistake(also have the ablove warning information)

But I found when I run Geant4 examples, there are output information about visualization of these:

But Gate programs do not have, does it matter?

Hi Cao,

Your detector seems good on your screenshot, and it's normal for your gammas. You have to disable the visualization. The visualization is just to check the position of your detector and source.
Do you have some errors when you launch GATE?

Kind Regards,
Didier

hi, gate users!

     I have installed Gate6.1 on Scientific Linux CERN 5.6 (SLC5.6) with geant4.9.3.p02 and root-5.26、clhep-2.0.4.5.
and everything goes well, but when I run benchSPECT for test, it returns unproper results: 
    1. The detector is not constructed completely 
    2. There are so many gammas, and it will not stop.
just like this : 


I run Geant4 examples as test, and it runs ok, no errors return, and the results is correct.
My PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is :
$echo $PATH
/opt/software_simulation/ROOT/root/bin:/opt/software_simulation/Gate/gate_v6.1/bin/Linuxg++:
/opt/software_simulation/Dawn/dawn_3_90b:/opt/software_simulation/ROOT/root/bin:/usr/sue/sbin:

Can anyone give me some helps or any suggestion.
Thank you!
