[Users] BHNS simulation issues - Hamiltonian constraint violations and general problems

[Samuel Tootle]

Hi Konrad,

Have you checked the import of the ID from the hydro point of view (i.e. plot rho in for the first iterations). If you see drastic changes in the NS density in the initial iterations, it usually means the EOS manager isn't configured correctly which routinely results in the NS "vanishing" thereby destroying the solution and the evolution.

Cheers,
Samuel
