You should check the name of the loaded d-card name and use it to do the overlap. I tested a dcard named "monitor" and it works fine with the gaussian beam:

The other way is to use scripting to do the overlap from the given formula. It is not difficult for scripting. Please try both methods and see which works better for you.

If the dcard does not work,  you may need to update the software to the newest version.
