Hi, Arda, if I remember correctly, that error is ok now that the simulation continues and gives results. It was said a bug in the older geant4 version and should have been fixed. but I also run into the similar problem with the newest version. You can search the geant4 forums to get a bit more information about this bug about trapezoid.

Subject: [Gate-users] problem with building trpd volume

  Hello,
 
I am trying to build a trapezoidal shape for the collimator of a SPECT  
system.  Everything looks good when I do the visualization, but I get  
the errors copied below ( last 2 lines repeats ~20 times). After  
that , the simulation works fine and I get the output data...
Initially I  thought the error was due to the absence of  a " extruded  
box ",  but i get the same error even if I include (i introduced a  
small box to satisfy the boolean operation) the relevant command lines  
as you can see in the
geometry below..
I will appreciate any suggestion,
Thanks,
Arda

Subject: [Gate-users] Change in services - downtime  expected

Dear Gate-users, dear Gate-developers,
 
In order to better serve you, the GATE Steering Committee has decided to move
the services hosted by HealthGrid to IMNC in Orsay.
 
We will try to reduce as much as possible the inconvenience you can experience
during the transition phase, which will take place between Christmas and New Year.
 
However, several downtime are expected during this transition and several
services may be unavailable without any prior warning.
 
HealthGrid will maintain the mailing lists active until January 31st. You should
be contacted later by Irène Buvat, spokesperson of the collaboration, or by her
representative to let you know if you will be signed in automatically to the new
mailing lists or which procedure you will have to follow.
 
HealthGrid has been pleased to serve you during all these years and we expect
you have appreciated our services.
 
We wish you a good continuation, a Merry Christmas and an Happy New Year!
 
Best Regards,
 
Yannick Legré
