more than one thermostat #1000

Closed davidsean closed 7 years ago

Issuing thermostat LD 1.0 1.0 followed by thermostat LB 1.0 will initialize a system with two thermostats.

Although one can use thermostat offto turn off the Langevin thermostat before activating the Lattice-Boltzmann thermostat, the expected behavior should be that the latest call to thermostat overrides any previous calls.

Although this cannot be changed for legacy reasons, there could be a warning message displayed when this happens. The documentation could contain a few warnings reminding the user to turn off existing thermostats (for example in the LB section).

If the python interface behaves differently (as I think it does) than an additional warning should be noted in the documentation.

Fixed in #1001. Why wasn’t this closed already?
