Ep_star "value above the range >=0.1" error

MFiX
#1

I’m using version 21.4 and I have an issue when I try to change close pack volume fraction on PIC.
When I opened the code, I saw max value of ep_star be written as 0.1.

max ep_star is 0.1 in all version of mfixs but I think I saw this error because of new release that say additional input control.
I didn’t find anything in codes about this error but I try to find a solution.

So, Can I change the max value of ep_star from 0.1 to 1.0? Do you think is it ok?

Congratulations, Ahmet! You found a bug in the MFiX interface. We will fix this in the 22.1 release. In the meanwhile feel free to modify line 8 in the file solids_pic.py to fix the max value, as in this patch.
