[CIG-LONG] gale : 1 input, 4 different outputs

[js at cp.dias.ie]

Hi,
I recently ran the same model in Gale four times and it generated
four differing outputs. While run 1 and run 3 are quite similar, as are
run 2 and run 4, 1 and 3 both differ significantly from 2 and 4. When
Gale generates the material points for a model, does it do so randomly?
Is this the reason for the differences? If so, is it possible to use
the starting locations of the material points from one model in another
future model?

Thank you for your time,
regards,

john.
