[Gate-users] Three problems with Gate 6.1

Dear Gaters,

Recently, I installed Gate 6.1 to investigate the positron range of Rb-82.

But, I can't use different physical model using "setModel" command.
I got an error as below when I tried to use setModel.
[G4-cerr] ***** COMMAND NOT FOUND
</gate/physics/processes/ElectronIonisation/setModel PenelopeModel e+>
*****


In addition, since the positron range was deactivated by default,
I modified the source code to get the positron range.

However, even though ion source (37 82 0 0) was used,
the positron range was little bit different from Gate 5.0 and
also from the reference paper (Levin, Calculation of positron
range..., PMB, 1999).

I guess this might be a problem with physical model at low energy.


One more, I can't use parameterization on batch mode.
For example, "Gate -a nZ 37 -a nA 82 < sim.mac".
"Gate -a nZ 37 -a nA 82 sim.mac" is working, though.


Thank you,
MJ
