Elegant users forum

Hello,
I am getting Terminated by SIGSEGVProgram trace-back ....when i run the elegant code.
The code uses a script - "Multislits.tcl" to simulate a transverse slit along the beam. When I run the code without this script, things are fine.
And the script itself is fine when run with an input file. But when i call it using the lte file from ele file , elegant gives this error.
I tried to read through other SIGSEGV issues people have encountered before in the forum. Most of them were associated with a BIN issue or a missing parameter.
Any idea why this might be happening?
regards,
Charles

Charles,

There is a bug in elegant related to particle accounting after a SCRIPT element in which particles are lost. You can work around this by setting use_particle_id=0 and drift_matrix=1 on your script element.

We'll look into the file upload issue.

Thank you Michael. It works now! Thanks...

Charles,

Another workaround, due to Yusong Wang, is to ask for lost particle output by giving losses=%s.los in &run_setup. (The bug is that the code assumes you always ask for this.) That way, you can remove the use_particle_id=0 parameter on the SCRIPT element and the particle IDs will be consistent throughout the output files.
