Sorry for the post spamming, but I made a mistake with my last reply I
am actually running the cluster sample. I have also just discovered
that removing the double precision options from the make file without
increasing the PMGRID value has seemed to fix the problem (at least
for now) as I have run the same cluster simulation past the point
where it would fail at step 3 with the double precision options up to
step 112 currently without them. Is it possible that there is
something wrong with the double precision code that fixes the particle
out of range problem?
Thanks.
