set as False after the first run?


The reason is physical mostly. I believe a capillary bridge can only be
formed when two particles are touching or nearly touching (unless you
start from a high saturation degree and drain it progressively).
If you keep createDistantMeniscii=True, then new bridges will appear
here and there all the time, even between distant particles. Not very
realistic IMO.
