Hi Xinjie,<br>
<br>
I’m not sure what could be causing your issue at this point. It appears to be a problem with your install. Hopefully somebody else might have an idea and can provide their insight.<br>
<br>
My next best suggestion would be to try vGATE and see if your issue occurs there. You could also try setting your material as G4_WATER instead. A more involved approach to determining the issue would involve recompiling GATE with your build type set to RelWithDebIbfo,
 then run your code in a debugger such as gdb.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Matthew<br>

What version of GATE and Geant4 are you using and what is your operating system? I find no relevant errors when running the simulation with phantom1 as Water.<br>
<br>
Aside from that, your code could be updated to use the new physics list mechanism<<a href="https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setting_up_the_physics.html?highlight=physics%20list#new-physics-list-mechanism">https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setting_up_the_physics.html?highlight=physics%20list#new-physics-list-mechanism</a>>

What happens when you define only phantom1 as water with no daughters? Check the definition of water in your materials database to make sure it’s not a problem there. If that doesn’t give any insight, could you send a simplified macro with the minimum lines

You should always set the model dimensions to be exactly equal to the physical dimensions for accurate modelling. From there, check to make sure you do not have any overlapping geometries with the command “/geometry/test/run” in your macro following “/gate/run/initialize”.
 If you do have overlapping geometries, GATE will tell you what is overlapping, where it’s overlapping, and by how much.<br>
<br>
In some cases of exact dimensions, I found that abutting geometries required trimming by 1um to avoid overlap warnings, but they are just warnings and should not restrict the simulation from running. I trimmed them for peace of mind.<br>

Hi Matthew,<br>
<br>
Thanks! I think I get your point now. One more question about the detailed size of the daughter volume. As for the example you presented in the last email, If the mother cylinder is with a 3.2 mm radius, what is the actual radius should I define for the following
 daughter cylinder? Rmax is 3.2 or 3.199 (some number that is very close to 3.2) considering the overlap? Or it doesn't matter?<br>

Hi Xinjie,<br>
<br>
In any geometry definition, it is important to follow these three rules when building a volume<<a href="https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/defining_a_geometry.html?highlight=daughter#building-a-volume">https://opengate.readthedocs.io/en/latest/defining_a_geometry.html?highlight=daughter#building-a-volume</a>>:<br>
<br>
  *   A volume which is located inside another must be its daughter<br>
  *   A daughter must be fully included in its mother<br>
  *   Volumes must not overlap.<br>
This may require you to get creative with daughter definitions in order to obtain a final geometry representing your physical setup.<br>
<br>
Your geometry does not satisfy these points based on the issues that I previously outlined. If part of your geometry requires polyethylene with a height of 800mm, I would start by defining that size as your mother volume. You can add on a daughter volume if
 you need a specific 100 mm region to be replaced with air.<br>
<br>
Consider, for example, that you define a mother polyethylene cylinder with a radius of 3.2 mm. Next, you define a daughter cylinder of air with a radius r of 2.4 <= r(mm) < 3.2 and within that daughter, you define a daughter cylinder of water with a radius
 of 0 <= r(mm) < 1.6. The remaining volume between 1.6 <= r(mm) < 2.4 will remain as polyethylene (i.e. there’s no need to redefine a daughter of polyethylene with those dimensions). Try to use that approach when defining your nested phantoms.<br>

Hi Matthew,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your remind, how about setting the phantom 3 as the world daughter too to avoid that violation? Because that 800 mm length is according to the NEMA standard, so I am guessing better keep it if it could be solved.<br>
<br>
For the phantom 3 configuration, I think it is necessary. There is actually an air gap between the inner plastic tube and the outer 200 mm diameter plastic shell according to the standard I believe.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Hi Xinjie,<br>
<br>
It looks like you have issues with overlapping geometries. You could try nesting phantom4 within phantom3 and nest phantom3 within phantom2. Also, is the height of phantom3 correct at 800mm? This does not fit within your parent volume of phantom1.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, is phantom3 even required? It looks like you’re reinserting polystyrene after voiding the region with air in phantom2. This could be avoided by setting Rmin to 2.4mm in phantom2.<br>

The cluster tool could run the macro with added phantom configuration well with no warning/error, so I am not sure where the wrong with it or whether it has an influence on the simulation result. I probably have seen a similar issue when I used CASToR for reconstruction
 so I am guessing it is related to ROOT?<br>
<br>
Did anyone ever meet this issue before? Any reply will be highly appreciated! Thanks!<br>
