VSMDPL (vsmdpl)

Description

The Very Small MultiDark Planck simulation (VSMDPL) belongs to the series of MultiDark simulations with Planck cosmology. It has the same cosmological parameters and particle number as MDPL2, but a much smaller box size of 160 Mpc/h, leading to a higher mass resolution.
