Full number of events not generated

This means that you hit the maximum efficiency limit of our phase-space integrator.
We are starting to create a newly designed phase-space integrator to help for those kind of issue but this project is still at his beginning and will not be ready any time soon.
So the only solution that you can try is multi-run.

Now we do not have any PDF associate to such mode. I would suggest to check for Sherpa.

Cheers,

Olivier
