Hi Ariel,
That's the wrong place I'm afraid. First of all, this routine would only be
active in TreePM mode, but more importantly, in case you use multiple processors
you will add the forces multiple times for certain particles.
You can add your force at the end of gravity_tree(), with a loop of the form
for(i = 0; i < NumPart; i++)
if(P[i].Ti_endstep == All.Ti_Current)
{
P[i].GravAccel[0] += ...
P[i].GravAccel[1] += ...
...
}
