Re: [ESPResSo-users] Optimization of box length

[Salim Maduar]

Hi, Samanta

For the purposes of domain decomposition the simulation cell should have at least 3*interaction ranges in each dimension.
If your goal is to confine your system in a narrow region you can you use wall constraints.
The particles should be setup between two wall constraints.

Best regards,
Salim

I tried to set the box_height loser than the other sides, but I cant reduce it after a certain limit. I am not understanding, what sets this optimum height? I feel if it is higher that the particle size and LJ cut, it should be feasible. But that is not the case, it is asking for even higher box-height.
