Hi Present were: Bhavesh, Elo, Erik, Frank, Gwyneth, Ian H., Peter, Roberto, Steven, and Vassili Status on KNLs Some independently developed optionlists exist, but none are production-ready: - Erik's optionlist on Cori: in branch in simfactory2 - Frank will put his option list into simfactory.

Hi Miguel, Here's a bit more information. There is no support in McLachlan for using LegoExcision. LegoExcision was used with an old implementation of BSSN. As Jonah said, when using Llama, it's possible to do excision by using a six-patch coordinate setup. In principle it is also possible to

Hi Miguel, I'm not sure about excising dynamically during evolution--maybe someone else has insight there. However, excision is definitely possible. I have been using the sixpatches Llama thorn to perform excision for a single black hole. I attach a parameter file to excise a Kerr-Schild

hi all, i was wondering whether one could straightforwardly use the ET to perform black hole evolutions using excision instead of punctures. specifically, i had in mind a collapsing configuration where i'd like to excise the inner domain once a black hole horizon is formed... is this
