The return torque when bond was broken

Hi,

In bonding V2, when the bond was broken, the code is as below:

 F_bond_n = CSimple3DVector();
 F_bond_t = CSimple3DVector();
 
Why not set the T_bond_1 and T_bond_2 in the code also as zero vector?
Thanks

    Hi Raheem,

    I don't think there is a specific reason around it, it is just a method of setting to zero used by the original author of the API code.  Setting to Zero vector is probably better, depending on what CSimple3DVector initialises as.

    Thanks Stephen,

    I also didn't see any different when I gave zero vector to torque. 

    Best Regards!
