Hi Niels,

I have not looked into your mac file in detail, but I suggest that you 
test your set up with a simple simulation
  setup (so 1 dose actor instead of 26). As soon as the simple setup 
works, increase the complexity. I once observed a problem with using 
integers in the name of actors - or at least I thought that there was an 
issue. Maybe this could be one of your problems?

cheers,
andreas
