Hi,

There is no explicit definition of the max distance. We consider that 
when the capilllary model gives a water volume=0 (also corresponds to 
force=0), there is no interaction, and we make sure bboxes are larger 
than the largest possible interaction distance.
The constitutive law needs a potential interaction with all physical 
parameters to compute the volume of a possible liquid bridge between two 
spheres, be it 0. So, there is no other way, we create some interactions 
that will never apply any force, but that are used to check if there is 
a bridge or not.
