<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The fix calculates a new stable time increment for use with the SMD time integrators.</p>
<p>The stable time increment is based on multiple conditions. For the SPH pair styles, a
CFL criterion (Courant, Friedrichs & Lewy, 1928) is evaluated, which determines the the speed of
sound cannot propagate further than a typical spacing between particles within a single time step to ensure
no information is lost. For the contact pair styles, a linear analysis of the pair potential determines a
stable maximum time step.</p>
<p>This fix inquires the minimum stable time increment across all particles contained in the group for which this
fix is defined. An additional safety factor <em>s_fact</em> is applied to the time increment.</p>

<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>This fix is part of the USER-SMD package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a>
