The model cannot handle loop processes.
Dear MG experts,
I am having trouble calculating the Drell-Yan process at NLO using a specific model. The model is a simple extension of type II 2HDM with one singlet flavon, which we generated through SARAH and SPheno. To calculate the Drell-Yan process at NLO, I utilized the UFO file generated by SARAH for the model, but encountered an error in the process:

The current model THDM_Global_UFO does not allow to generate loop corrections of type ['QCD'].
Command "generate p p > e2 e2bar [noborn=QCD]" interrupted with error:
InvalidCmd : The model THDM_Global_UFO cannot handle loop processes
After some searches, I discovered that there are already some similar cases, and I believe this is a closely related one.

Based on the response provided in the inquiry, it appears that rewriting the Lagrangian and parameters in FeynRules with the NLOCT package is necessary to calculate loop processes. However, I am wondering if the same approach can be applied to our UFO file or if there is a way to enable loop process calculations within SARAH for our specific UFO file.
Many thanks in advance
