> Unintentionally I had left a 1 (forgot to edit it) for the -HDF_chemistry PRINT_FREQUENCY, though my intention was to set a -delta_time to 5 seconds (except for the first 10 seconds). What happened is that PHAST chose to use 1 second as -delta_time. In principle the safe choice in terms of not missing anything - but it did increase the simulation time considerably and it also meant that the output was rather large. That is a "feature", not a bug. It is the way the print control was designed; the idea was that if you have 10 second time steps and want a printout after 25 seconds, the step size would be adjusted to match the desired print frequency. I suppose we could put out a warning that a print frequency is smaller than the step size.
