Why is there no cell size in the example Periodic triaxial test

Asked by Zhicheng Gao

Hi,
I read the example Periodic triaxial test[1], but I have a question, why does the period boundary not set the dimension of the cell, that is, why did not use O.cell.hSize to set the size of cell ? Doesn't the periodic boundary need to set the size of the cell ?

Hi,

O.cell has default size (1,1,1), so you don't need to set size explicitly if the default value is suitable.
###
O.periodic = True
print(O.cell.size)
###

Cheers
