Hi experts,
I encountered particle source definition issue.here is my code.

G4int Z = 92, A = 238;
G4IonTable* ionTable = G4IonTable::GetIonTable();
ionTable->CreateAllIon();
G4ParticleDefinition* particle_here = ionTable->GetIon(Z, A, 0.0);
gps_->SetParticleDefinition(particle_here);
gps_->SetParticleCharge(0.0);

And then this happened：

-------- WWWW ------- G4Exception-START -------- WWWW -------
*** G4Exception : PART105
      issued by : G4IonTable::CreateIon()
Can not create ions because GenericIon is not ready
*** This is just a warning message. ***
-------- WWWW -------- G4Exception-END --------- WWWW -------

and then the program crashed. Should I Initialize some things before there？
Thanks for any help!!

IonTable cannot be invoked from the constructor of PrimaryGeneratorAction : too early …
It can be called in PrimaryGeneratorAction::GeneratePrimaries().
See example rdecay01 to see the ‘trick’ used.
