[Gate-users] Track stuck or not moving

[Howard]

Hi,

I was simulating a X-ray imaging process with 2 x 10^9 events. It has been
running over 5200 minutes and still ongoing. From the output I saw the
following warning message about "Track stuck or not moving" as attached
below (multiple times). However, when I ran 2 x 10^7 events I did not have
the same warming issue and the simulation was completed < 20 hours
successfully. Should I worry about this warning or just ignore it and
continue to wait? Thanks a lot!
