Hi Hansika, Hope you are doing well. So, I did all the steps as you suggested and it worked fine. I've 2 doubts: 1) While running the simulation, I get many warnings. The warnings are below point 2 of this mail. Can you please kindly check whether these can be ignored or not.
2) When I set number of CPUs to 16, it gives me 'Assertion Error <Empty Message>' in simulation.py at 106. But works well if number of CPUs are 2,4 or 8. Any idea, what might be the issue?
