Stages of execution of a time step.

Dear all,

I read in the docummentation --"Fixes perform their operations at
different stages of the timestep. If 2 or more fixes operate at the same
stage of the timestep, they are invoked in the order they were specified
in the input script."

I am really curious about how this exactly works. Is there in the
documentation a place where is explained the execution and different
stages to run 1 timestep? Or which group of fixes are executed in which
stage? This would give IMO some insights in whats going on behind the
scenes without having to look into the source code.

Thanks in advance,

Eduardo

if you want to know which specific fixes are invoked when, you *have*
to read the source and specifically look at the respective
Fix???::setmask() method
