Energy Range Not Updating

[jprchlik]

After I create a gas table using PyBoltz and Odie (code snippet below), I get a maximum energy warning when loading the gas table into Garfield and run a Macro simulation. I do not think PyBoltz is actually accepting my maximum electron energy. These warning start at 40eV, which is the default energy limit in MagBoltz.

"
MediumMagboltz::GetElectronCollisionRate:
Rate at 86.8656 eV is not included in the current table.
Increasing energy range to 91.2089 eV.

#Set up helper object
Odie = OdieRun()

Configure settings for our simulation

base_settings = {
'Gases': ['Ar', 'CH4'],
'Fractions': [98.5, 1.5],

}

t_start = time.time()

#Load base settings into Odie, this is required for
#running on a grid.
Odie.LoadSettings(base_settings, PrintSettings=True)

#Odie also can read in the settings from a JSON file
#Odie.LoadSettings(JSONFileName="input.json", PrintSettings=True)

#Generate output for a grid of possible EFields
mine= 1
maxe = 1e4
samp = 2
GridOutput = Odie.GenerateGasGrid(mine, maxe, samp, LogScale=True)

The warning is generated by Garfield++. It does not have to be a fault on Odie's side. My guess is, that you did not set the same maximum energy in your Garfield++ program. It would then default to 40eV, see https://gitlab.cern.ch/garfield/garfieldpp/-/blob/master/Source/MediumMagboltz.cc#L46
