Request for some indication for not using dynamics equation when using TimeDriver()

The simulation "runs" but nothing happens.

Do I understand correctly that you want to raise an error/warning when one runs a TimeDriver in the absence of system.dynamics term(s)?

Also, what exactly do you mean by "nothing happens"? Do you mean that system.m does not update or the simulation continues endlessly?

Yes, you understand correctly

system.m does run but the inital state does not change after TimeDriver as system.dynamics were not mentioned.

Okay I understand. I have three questions:

1. Should we raise an error/warning if OOMMF is OK with running a time driver with no dynamics term?
2. I am leaning towards raising a warning. I think raising an error would be too strong a stance. Does this sound reasonable?
3. If we implement this in oommfc, it would good to know what mumax3 does in such a situation and maybe raise an error/warning in mumax3c as well for consistency. Does this sound reasonable?

It would be good to know @lang-m, @samjrholt, @fangohr opinions.
