VELOCIraptor Interface

This section includes information on the VELOCIraptor interface implemented in SWIFT. There are mainly four subsections; the first section explains shortly how VELOCIraptor works, the second subsection explains how to configure SWIFT with VELOCIraptor, the third subsection explains how to configure a standalone version of VELOCIraptor and the fourth subsection explains how the output format of VELOCIraptor works. There is an additional fifth section which describes the optional output of halo most bound particles for use with semi-analytic galaxy formation models.
