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

The fix performs explicit time integration for particles which
interact with the updated Lagrangian SPH pair style.

See `this PDF guide <PDF/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 :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc page for more info.
