Ok. Last question/remark before I upload the corrected files :

in M(r=10), there is a bunch of "missing" uc* values in some cases. For
dist* = 0 and 1e-4, considered uc* values jump from 1350 to 11000. This
being said, trends in all values changes (according to uc*) do not show
anything chocking, in this file.

About your p.s. question of #7, the junk values seem to correspond to a set of few given uc* values. As such, as soon as you consider an example with a given capillary pressure that do not fit those uc* values, nothing appears.
Note also that I did not spot any problem about force values.
(If I understood your question)

Title:
  Buggy data in capillary files

Status in Yet Another Dynamic Engine:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  ***** CURRENT SITUATION ******
  Current capillary files include some buggy data for dimensionless menisci volume (vol*), and filling angle delta2. Several examples are detailled in "prob.txt" attachment.

   Basically, on some lines, vol* and delta2 are discontinuous compared to adjacent lines. The discontinuous values are sometimes obviously wrong, with e.g. one vol* = 400 line 9704 of M(r=2). You may imagine the consequences on the construction of a soil-water characteristic curve...
  *******************************

  
  ****** HISTORY (explaining the current situation ?) ******
  Historically, these files come from a very first version of capillary files, that have been corrected twice. A first ("major") correction modified the volume values that were affected by a mistake during files construction (*). There has been a second ("minor") correction regarding the first lines of some files (**). Probably the discontinuous volume values existing now have been introduced during the major correction (*).
  ******************************************************

  
  ****** CORRECTION PROPOSAL ********
  After discussion with Luc Scholtes, some work has been done to correct the buggy volume / delta2 values that exist now. It has been decided to start from the very first version of the files. In this very first version no discontinuous volume values existed.
   
  But, discontinuous values of delta2, sometimes reaching - 6000 degrees have been now spotted in these very first files.
  To correct this, the lines including such discontinuous delta2 values have been simply erased. To do so, continuity has been checked with adjacent lines, spotting then errors like delta2 = - 6000 deg between delta2 = 55 and 54 degrees, and also delta2 = 3 degrees between 22 and 22.
  Doing so, roughly less than 1% of lines have been erased.

  Discontinuous lines being erased, volume values have been corrected towards the same direction than during correction (*).
  **************************************

  
  ****** FINAL SITUATION AFTER POSSIBLE APPROVAL OF PROPOSED CORRECTION*******
  This work has been completed. It is not uploaded yet, time being given for people to check the current situation, and possible discussion about the correction proposal.

  In the brand new files (only in my PC as for now), there should be no discontinuous values of vol* and delta2 anymore, and volume meniscii should be correct.
