set to the minimum of 0.08 kpc. The choice of constant scale height is motivated by the expectation that at the masses of interest the disk thickness acquires minimum threshold value. The value is dictated by the balance between the thermodynamics of disk formation, such as the effect of the cosmic ionizing flux providing a minimum temperature floor of $\sim 10^4$ K, corresponding to a bulk velocity dispersion $\sim 8-10$ km/s, and the gravitational potential of the halo. For all the stellar disks introduced in the simulation the scale height was set to 0.08 kpc.

With the scale height and stellar mass to total mass ratio assigned, the scale length remains to be determined. The square of the scale length is naturally constrained to be proportional to the virial mass of the respective object. An observational study provided by finds several dwarf galaxies with disk scale lengths as low as 0.33 kpc. Considering the inferred galaxy masses for the latter sample and the values assumed in previous work on tidal stirring based on various constraints ([@2011ApJ...726...98K]), the reference value of $R_d = 0.4 kpc$ was set for an object with a virial mass of $10^9 M_{sol}$. Using such reference value
