Calculating energy?

[pointwood]

I just switched to the client and it had just generated a structure. What cought my eye was the the yellow text in the top right corner - it said "Calculating energy" (I think :) ).

I have never seen that before?

I've seen it alot. ;)
Don't even suggest the idea that I just sit here watching it all day either. :)
Sometimes it is in the middle of a WU,
does that Calculating energy thing,
then goes back to working on that same WU.

Ok, so what is it doing when it is calculating energy? Curious minds want to know.

Well I hate to state the obvious, but its calculating the energy..
For non-compact structures it skips this step which can be a little bit lengthy, which is why you only actually get the message once in a while...

No problem with having the obvious stated. I'm just one that will stick his neck out and ask the questions.

We were having a small debate on whether it was calculating to determine the best psuedo energy or it was doing this to keep it from folding in on itself and getting stuck.

Now I know, thanks.

BTW, another big thanks for all the enhancements and improvements I have seen on this program. :thumbs:
