Finishing Relaxation
It is possible to start a dynamical run after relaxation finishes
without starting the code. The parameter ``TRELOFF'' gives the time
at which relaxation finishes, and if this is less than the time at
which the run itself finishes, ``TF'', the code will switch to a
dynamical mode, turning on the effects of AV and radiation reaction if
the user indicated they should be used.
For a single star configuration the process is extremely simple. All
velocities are set to zero and the run is relaunched. For the
corotating binary case, All velocities are set such that

is taken to point in the z-direction. Note that
this approach eliminates all spurious velocities which had yet to damp out.
