[Gate-users] error using "confine" command

[山中 琢]

Hello all,

I've been trying to create the background source with the NEMA phantom for
a long time and finally accomplished it with the use of "confine" and
"forbid" commands.
I confirmed the source distribution each time by using

/gate/source/FictiveSource/visualize

command and I could get the image as attached(the alignment of the cold
sources are a bit modified from the original NEMA phantom), which has a
uniform distribution with complex shape.

But, even it doesn't give me any error upon the visualization process, when
I start the simulation, it always gives me an error as,

*************************************
LoopCount = 100000
Either the source distribution >> confinement
or any confining volume may not overlap with
the source distribution or any confining volumes
may not exist
If you have set confine then this will be ignored
for this event.
*************************************

 *** Break *** segmentation violation

I checked my code but I don't understand what the "distribution >>
confinement" means...

My macros are very messy but if you are interested in this problem, please
take a look at them. It should work when you start "test.mac"
If you have any question or suggestion, I'll gratefully wait for it.

Thank you.

Taku
