I have set the minimum time step to a value below what the dynamic range should reasonably need. Indeed all is well for about ½ of the longest dynamical time. The time step does not shrink to zero, it just drops in one step.

Hi Raymond,
This because your extreme dynamic range and a finite number of time bins results in dt going to 0. Find a way to decrease dynamic range

HI – I am running Gadget2 on a 32 node machine. Works well for more than 10,000 steps, then dt goes to zero with no complaints from the program so the run continues for some time with no progress. DONOTSTOP is not implemented. Softenings are good. TreeAllocFactor boosted, etc, but no go. The gravity calculation has extreme density ranges.
