Hi

I am new to houdini. I was trying to create a simple particle emitter from a sphere (in a geometry node) using source particle emitter. It gives me the following error

The attempting operation failed. Invalid node name type
Details:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “dynamics_popsource”, line 4, in <module>
File “/Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/14.0.258/Resources/houdini/python2.7libs/doppoptoolutils.py”, line 621, in createSourceEmitter
sourcenode = solvernode.parent().createNode('popsource', selectedobjects.name() + ‘_source’)
File “/Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/14.0.258/Resources/houdini/python2.7libs/hou.py”, line 4887, in createNode
return _hou.Node_createNode(*args, **kwargs)
OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed.
Invalid node type name

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Sanchit
