Description
"""""""""""

The fix performs explicit time integration for particles which interact with the updated Lagrangian SPH pair style.
See `this PDF guide <USER/smd/SMD_LAMMPS_userguide.pdf>`_ to using Smooth Mach Dynamics in LAMMPS.

The *adjust_radius* keyword activates dynamic adjustment of the per-particle SPH smoothing kernel radius such that the number of neighbors per particles remains
within the interval *min_nn* to *max_nn*\ . The parameter *adjust_radius_factor* determines the amount of adjustment per timestep. Typical values are
*adjust_radius_factor*\ =1.02, *min_nn*\ =15, and *max_nn*\ =20.

The *limit_velocity* keyword will control the velocity, scaling the norm of
the velocity vector to max_vel in case it exceeds this velocity limit.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Currently, no part of USER-SMD supports restarting nor minimization. This fix has no outputs.

Restrictions
""""""""""""


This fix is part of the USER-SMD package.  It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <start_3>`
section for more info.
