[Gate-users] error in "confine" command

[山中 琢]

Hello gaters,

I've been trying to use the "forbid" and "confine" command to create the
source with some particular shape.

But when I start the simulation, it always gives me
*************************************
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.
*************************************
this for many times then finally it reaches "***Break*** Segmentation
violation"

I tried this with a simple geometry which a large cylinder confines a
little smaller cylinder source so that the source always be generated
within a "confined" volume.

But still I get the aforesaid error.

I'll gladly await for any solution or suggestion.

Below is the part of macro where I think related with the confine command...
