Overview

The AddPair node is a companion to the Add node, but instead operates on a pair of species. The population refers to a population of pairs of species which are added at their current coordinates, then translated / rotated uniformly in order to maintain their relative coordinates.

Periodic species cannot be used by this node, nor can CoordinateSets .

Description

For full details on the possible options, see the Add node.
