Hello,

At every timestep the a domain Decomposition occurs (calling
domain_decompose()) or the Nodes[*].len gets updated in force_update_len().
This occurs domain_decompose() is controlled by the conditional

if(All.NumForcesSinceLastDomainDecomp > All.TotNumPart *
All.TreeDomainUpdateFrequency)

force_update_len() is controlled by the conditional (see predict.c)

if(All.NumForcesSinceLastDomainDecomp < All.TotNumPart
*All.TreeDomainUpdateFrequency)

However if All.NumForcesSinceLastDomainDecomp = All.TotNumPart
*All.TreeDomainUpdateFrequency, neither the domain_decompose() is run nor
are the Nodes[*].len updated in force_update_len(). Is this the expected
behavior? I recently encountered such a situation when the values were

All.NumForcesSinceLastDomainDecomp = 11000
All.TotNumPart = 110000
All.TreeDomainUpdateFrequency = 0.1

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Ali
