Hi,
I am running a fairly simple simulation of 1500 particles in an
NFW profile. I have a similar error: 'A timestep of size zero was
assigned on the integer timeline!' that always occurs on the first
timestep. It was suggested that the particle in question (1495) is an
outlier and may cause problem. But if I remove it, the error simply
moves to another particle (1348). Removing that particle means that
particle 1493, and then particle 1492 have errors. None of these
particles are outliers, and are relatively close to other particles,
so I'm not sure why GADGET-2 would have problems with them to begin
with.
Any help is appreciated,
chris

We better stop.

Hi,
I´m sorry, I did´nt had time yet to regard what is happening in detail
with my simulations and give you a more elaborated answer. I´m terribly
busy these times. Anyway, from past simulations for which I encountered
the same error messages, I think I´m having some particles escaping to very
large distances, as suggested by Ives, and that is the cause of my troubles.
To fix this, I think you must remove these particles by hand and then reestart
the simulation ...
Cheers, H.
