Hi! I didn’t find any related topic so I’m gonna post a new one.
So, I run my program with a geometry using ComponentElmer
and load the initial ionization positions from a ROOT file. But I keep getting the following error message just before the execution of the avalanche AvalancheMicroscopic::TransportElectron: No medium at initial position.
I tryed to exagerate the the sensor area at Garfield but it still doesn’t work.
Actually the beginning of the log is this:

My code compiles fine, and that message appears for all avalanches.

I have a very similar code that works fine, and I tried to rebuild my new code using the previous one many times, and it still doesn’t work.
I could really use some help, many thanks if some give me some enlightening.
