<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Catherine,</div><div><br></div><div>I am not using a voxelized phantom, but instead using a "tessellated" volume in the STL form. That might be the problem. But why did this not happen when I ran less events (2x10^7 events)? I am also wondering if the extra long simulation time (~6000 mins for a very simple CT imaging setup) is due to this?

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>You would try to change production cuts to be a little bit bigger. <br>

<div>Hi,</div>

<div>I was simulating a X-ray imaging process with 2 x 10^9 events. It has been running over 5200 minutes and still ongoing. From the output I saw the following warning message about "Track stuck or not moving" as attached below (multiple times). However, when
I ran 2 x 10^7 events I did not have the same warming issue and the simulation was completed < 20 hours successfully. Should I worry about this warning or just ignore it and continue to wait? Thanks a lot!</div>
