Hi all,
Instead of touching the code (which could be dangerous if you do not know in detail how to do it!) I would recomend to enable the posibility of using individual softening lenghts by enabling this in the makefile (UNEQUALSOFTENINGS), and recompile.
Then, in the file with the initial conditions you can write the mass of every indivudual particle in the snapshot just after the ID of the particles (and making Massarr[] equal to zero in all the sets of particles with individual masses in the header).
I think, is going to work better that modifying the code!
I hope it helps.
Regards
Juan Carlos

Hi all,
I don't know if it would be possible to just add a softening variable to the P struct in this case: allvars.h (523):
#ifdef ADAPTIVE_GRAVSOFT
FLOAT Softening;
#endif
I'm not very familiar with the gravity code but it seems that setting UNEQUALSOFTENINGS and ADAPTIVE_GRAVSOFT_FORGAS allows varying softening lengths when some code is modified to extend this beyond the sph particles.
the following code is found in forcetree.c (line 585):
if(All.ForceSoftening[pa->Type] > maxsoft)
maxsoft = All.ForceSoftening[pa->Type];
if this would be encapsulated in an extra ADAPTIVE_GRAVSOFT flag:
#ifndef ADAPTIVE_GRAVSOFT
<insert code above>
#else
if (pa->Softening > maxsoft)
maxsoft = pa->Softening;
#endif
(or something similar and more general)
a similar change in potential.c lines 108/109, gravtree.c lines 132/133, forcetree.c lines 585/586, 1158/1159, 1174/1175, 1230/1244, 1455/1456, 1514/1528, 2070/2071, 2140/2154, 2334/2335, 2416/2430 (note: the two-line pieces of code are identical, as are the 15 line pieces), timestep.c around 477. Basically at every place where ADAPTIVE_GRAVSOFT_FORGAS is found.
Then there would just need to be 2 more small additions, for reading and writing the softening length from and to snapshots in the case ADAPTIVE_GRAVSOFT is set.
Anyway that's what I make of it : )
kind regards,
Sander

The softening value is connected to the particle type therefore I am using particle types 1-5 for halo particles (I think these particle types are all collisionless and I can use them all as halo type particles... or am I wrong?). Is there any possibility to extend the particle types to more then 5?
