This is correct, units should be T/m (units are case sensitive).

I got this error initially as well.

I made sure that I downloaded the "current" geometry (ie in the config file ensure that you have the line "geometry_download_by = 'current'") before running the simulation using the same command line argument as above. This works to first order --- but is it right?

The current geometry has the FieldStrength listed as "T". I agree that it should be "T/m". Could this raise a backward compatibility issue (Matt?).

Ah, my mistake. It's allowed, although a bit naughty, to do units of "T" rather than "T/m" (code interprets as "T/mm" - MAUS is not clever enough to know what units a variable is expecting and just multiplies).

I'm not sure where this has come from. I think it is from the maus_information file that I have uploaded. I shall check it out :-) Should all fields be in "T/m"?

I don't know what the typical values are in MICE. One would expect fields of order few T/m (shouldn't be more than, say, 1 T at the coil. Aperture is 0.17 m. So 5 T/m = 0.85 T at the coil.)

I've found the problem, the Maus_Information.gdml file which is uploaded with the geometry has the Field Strength in T not T/m. Its not in the code so I shall upload the geometry again and back date it

Just uploaded a corrected geometry. Try downloading the new version :-)
