Add extra space for terminator and releporter

[Former user]

Hello,

I have successfully converted my MADX model into .gmad format. But it's not clear from the manual how to add extra space to fix the error warning:

Insufficient space between the first and last elements in the beam line to fit the terminator and teleporter - these will not be built. BDS::CalculateTeleporterDelta> Minimum space for circular mechanics is 0.011 um

Hello,

If your model matches up perfectly, then try to finish on a drift and subtract a little from the length. You ideally just want to subtract say 0.1um from the last element in the lattice (editing its component definition). You don’t want to subtract length from a magnet as that’d affect the optics, so therefore, it’s ideal if the lattice ends on something that’s not a magnet and a drift is perfect.
