[Gate-users] Question in simulation with a number of sources

Hi Jinxia Guo,
I already encountered this problem too !
I searched a lot but was not able to find the reason.
But I found a solution, that is really really a do-it-yourself method !
Here is the trick:
For your X sources, if you see that the first source to be weak is the Nth
then insert a fictive source between the N-1th and the Nth sources. For me a
fictive source is a source with no activity, and outside the field of view.
Then launch your simulation again and see which is the next source to be
weak. Then do these steps again until all your sources work correctly.
I know this is annoying but it will probably work !
Good luck,
Simon
