sorry if it had been posted elsewhere, but what does NBody WU's and separation WU's do, and are nbody's dependent on separations (or vice versa)?

As Travis wrote in another thread, with separation WUs
we search for structure and try to optimize parameters to fit that structure within the Milky Way galaxy. And lately we've been also doing N-Body simulation of the formation of those structures. What your workunits are doing is trying to find the optimal set of parameters for those N-Body simulations to end up best representing our sky survey data or to fit those different structures (like dwarf galaxy tidal streams) from that data.
