Ok. I'm getting zero water volume for contacting spheres for an adimensionned capillary pressure Pc* =  1500 +/- 5 (the minimum adimensionned water volume seems to be ~ 2.6e-6)

Thanks for remarks,

Jerome

Good point. I think you can consider that the max value of dimensionless Pc is the same (at least the order of magnitude) for all possible distances.
When you know this maximum for particles in contact (how much is it by the way?) it applies for the other interactions as well.
It is indeed less easy to detect problems algorithmicaly for this case, but practically you will get warned as soon as two particles are in contact, which will occur in most cases.
As a general rule: if you manipulate saturation degrees of the order of 10e-6 or so, it should ring a bell.
