inconsistent results from scuff-neq #233

I am trying to duplicate your pinwheels results from the arxived paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.01985.pdf). I have drawn a similar geometry but gotten torque results about 2 orders lower than yours. Is there any possible reason for that? Another issue is that the quantities that are calculated via different methods (EMTPFT, OPFT or DSIPFT) are not all consistent. Take the case of two spheres system as a example, The force flux results of 1->2 consistent between OPFT and EMTPFT, while the force flux results of 2->2 does not.
