Command "generate_events run_01" interrupted with error

Asked by Edoardo Iannucci

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a 4top production process, but when I launch it the following message appears on my terminal:

Command "generate_events run_01" interrupted with error:
InvalidParamCard : parameter frblock: 10 is not at zero
Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo

Please attach this file to your report.

this is the debug file:

Hi,

This means that you edit/provide an entry of the param_card that was incompatible with the restriction model that was provided/loaded. So madgraph refuses to proceed since it means that the value of frblock (10) will not be taken into account by our code.

See https://answers.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo/+faq/2312
to understand how restriction model works.

One quick (but maybe not optimal) solution might be to use
import model HC_NLO_X0_UFO_copy-full
instead of
import model HC_NLO_X0_UFO_copy

Cheers,

Olivier
