Problem with GPS

Recording, Visualizing and Persisting Data

Dear all,

I am running a simulation. I aim to create a 10-degree angle using GPS, but I’m encountering an issue where my results remain unchanged regardless of whether the angle is defined or not in my run.mac file. Could someone advise me on how to properly utilize GPS to adjust angles?

this is in my run.mac file

Hi,

I am not sure if beam position type allows to define angles… Maybe a planar surface as position type would do the trick, like this?

Best,
Alvaro

thank you it works with planar surface
