[Gate-users] max number of particles problem

[Dimitrios Thanasas]

Hi again,

I think I found a solution.
Instead of defining number of particles, I set an activity on the source
and I set the simulation time so that the particles to be generated are
more than 2 billions.
The simulation is running without problems so far.
Using the Simulation Statistic Actor I know exactly the number of
particles that are produced.

Best wishes,
Dimitris Thanasas
