Hi @clementbricaud , this is not the _full_ script (i.e., the script from top to bottom, or in the case of a notebook - the code from all the cells)....

That if we have simulations with no particle particle interaction, its quite parallelizable allowing us to scale up horizontally by deploying more instances and partitioning the particleset across the instances.

Pydantic has a rich system for validation, so I recommend we work inside that https://docs.pydantic.dev/latest/concepts/validators/#before-after-wrap-and-plain-validators.
