Should we implement _quiet start_ for gendisk? #122

Open

Description

@The9Cat

We have implemented quiet start type initial condition generation for gensph and zangics by organizing by replicating randomly chosen orbits that (nearly) uniformly cover the sphere or circle, respectively.

We typically use relaxation heuristics to improve the initial equilibrium for combined halo-disk initial conditions. These would mix away the advantage of replicating orbits with uniform coverage.

Are there use cases for gendisk that would benefit from a quiet start initial condition set up?

    My general feeling from other discussions at this point is that we probably do not need a quiet start for gendisk. But happy to keep this open as a reminder if we think there is still debate!

    Ironically, quiet start options are available in gensph.
