Error when my events generation gets refined

Asked by Olivier Dupon

Dear experts,

I am currently studying Lepton Flavor Violation for the FCC consindering e- e+ --> t t~, where we consider the top quark to decay into a hypothetical W' particle.

When trying to generate events of any type I get the following error:

I never got this error before and I haven't touched any of the internal MadGraph files. My MadGraph, however, did just get updated and the error never appeared before the update. Any advice is appreciated.

Kind regards
