I can reproduce

This is not a error with the simulation as far as I understand. You are choosing to run pionDetectorLucite as your mother geometry which has no target sampling volume and using a physics generator which requires a sampling volume. I believe that you should run with the beam generator and change the particle to run with to pi- using the command SetPartName. I will try to make a working example. @wdconinc Let me know if this sounds reasonable.

This is the actual error message that's relevant. Clearly complaining about not finding the target sampling volume as expected.

I was about to report this but see it has already been reported. I updated remoll today so I am running the latest version. I am running the beam generator with the following macro:

/remoll/setgeofile geometry/mollerMother.gdml
/remoll/physlist/register QGSP_BERT_HP
/remoll/parallel/setfile geometry/mollerParallel.gdml

/remoll/filename ../beam_test.root

/run/beamOn 100

It didn't crash but throws the following error:

G4WT3 > ERROR: remollVertex remollBeamTarget::SampleVertex(SamplingType_t) line 221: kNoTargetVolume!

I also tried calling LH2.mac as follows:

/control/execute macros/target/LH2.mac

But still got the same error.
