ERROR: Convention for the param_card seems to be wrong.

Hi,

mssm type of model are always been tricky.
We actually do not have a model named mssm so could you be more specific about which model you are using.

The issue with mssm type of model is that two convention exists for the benchmark point
you have SLHA1 and SLHA2 accord some of the mssm model expects one format and the others expects the other. If you prrovide the wrong forrmat, you would see warning if you try to use to wrong format and as you will see we will use a simple converter to try to fix the issue but the best is to use a model which matches the type of input that you will provide.

Cheers,

Olivier
