Error when loading UFO model from pickle

Hi,

Which exact command did you use to load the model?
Where is the model on the disk?
If not inside the models directory, what is your PYTHONPATH environment variable

Is this occurring only for that model or does it happens as well for the "sm" model?

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi,

I've used:

"import model <model_folder>"

The model seems to be correctly loaded, since I see the model particles and I can generate processes.
Only when running "output" I get an error.

I've tried storing the model folder in the models directory, but I get the same error.
However the same error does not happen for MSSM_SLHA2 for instance.

Cheers,

is <model_folder> an absolute path or a relative one?

if you put in the models folder you can just do
import model NAME
Which will likely fix the issue

Cheers,

Oliviver
