Description
We try to determine the location of an external point mass as a significant source of gravitation (SMBH). According to our configuration, it is located outside the 2D grid domain. However, we found that the correct command in input file is (example coordinates): castro.point_mass_coord = -1.86e15 3.e14. This does not work, Castro ignores it. Do you have an idea about the correct input command?

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the configuration with castro.point_mass_coord and trace how the external point-mass location is read; done means the documented input command is accepted and the configured coordinates affect the simulation.
