"ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero" when running fixed order (p p > l+ vl a QCD=0 NP=2 [QCD]) in the SMEFTatNLO model

Dear MadGraph experts,

I'm trying to run a fixed order analysis for (p p > l+ vl a QCD=0 NP=2 [QCD]) using the SMEFTatNLO model, but I get the error I report below, together with the log file. The error mentions req_acc, but I'm carrying on a fixed order generation...

Can you help me fixing this?

Moreover, is it correct to set gamma_is_j to False, since I want to set constraints on its pT?

Thank you,

Matteo
