Dear Zhao,

In principle, the tiling option should work with a glass file. However, the code was not automatically scaling the boxsize of the input glass file when TILING is used, and I suspect your problem originates from this. I have now added such a scaling of the boxsize in the most recent commit, i.e. one should in principle now be able to use a Gadget2 glass file for arbitrary boxsizes in Gadget4, and to use TILING to enlarge the glass file to a larger particle load. (I haven't had a chance to explicitly test this yet, however).

Best regards,
Volker

While I wondering that if this option can be used to scale the glass file with low number of particles. So I used glass file with 32**3 particles generated by Gadget-2 to produce IC with 256**3 particles and set the "TILING=8” in the Config.sh. However, I got a very strange power spectrum shown by the green line in the following figure. The red line is the result from the glass file with the same number 256**3 and no TILING in the Config.sh which is right relative to my input power spectrum (magenta line).
