In ParaDiS, the following length parameters are important to control the discretization and tolerance of the DD simulation:

minSeg, maxSeg, rc, rTol, rmax, rann

The rann parameter can be set as an input in DDLab, but not in ParaDiS.

Default values

rc = -1.0 
minSeg = -1.0
maxSeg = -1.0

These are not valid values and force you to choose your own numbers for these three parameters.

After you set acceptable values for rc, the default values for rTol and rann are set as follows.

rTol = 0.25 * rc
rann = 2 * rTol

You can overwrite the value of rTol in the input file. But you cannot change rann.
