[Gate-users] Track stuck or not moving

Hi Matthew and Svetlana,

Thank you for your replies. Can you a bit more specific about the
production cuts? In the warning it says:

......
Trying pushing it of 1e-07 mm ...Potential overlap in geometry!

But I do not know what to change in my scripts though. I do not believe I
have overlapping geometry since the same geometry was working totally fine
when I tried to generate 2x10^7 events. Still confused.
