each processor. Nbins is the total number of bins; Nvalues is the
number of input values specified. Each processor loops over its
atoms, tallying its values to the appropriate bin. Then the entire
array is summed across all processors. This means that using a large
number of bins will incur an overhead in memory and computational cost
(summing across processors), so be careful to use reasonable numbers

2014-11-19 04:54:17 +08:00
timesteps the input values will be used to bin them and contribute to
the average. The final averaged quantities are generated on timesteps
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
that are a multiples of < em > Nfreq< / em > . The average is over < em > Nrepeat< / em >
2014-11-19 04:54:17 +08:00
quantities, computed in the preceding portion of the simulation every
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
< em > Nevery< / em > timesteps. < em > Nfreq< / em > must be a multiple of < em > Nevery< / em > and
2015-12-09 07:16:00 +08:00
< em > Nevery< / em > must be non-zero even if < em > Nrepeat< / em > is 1.
Also, the timesteps

on timestep 100. Similarly for timesteps 190,192,194,196,198,200 on
timestep 200, etc. If Nrepeat=1 and Nfreq = 100, then no time
averaging is done; values are simply generated on timesteps

by either a compute or a variable. This allows, for example, the
center of the spherical bins to be attached to the center of mass of a
group of atoms. If a variable origin is used and periodic boundary
conditions are in effect, then the origin will be wrapped across
periodic boundaries whenever it changes so that it is always inside

< p > If the < em > ave< / em > setting is < em > one< / em > , then the bin values produced on

the average of the bin value produced on that timestep with all

< p > If the < em > ave< / em > setting is < em > window< / em > , then the bin values produced on
timesteps that are multiples of < em > Nfreq< / em > are summed and averaged within
a moving “ window” of time, so that the last M values for the same bin
2014-11-19 04:54:17 +08:00
are used to produce the output. E.g. if M = 3 and Nfreq = 1000, then
the output on step 10000 will be the average of the individual bin
values on steps 8000,9000,10000. Outputs on early steps will average
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
over less than M values if they are not available.< / p >
< p > The < em > units< / em > keyword determines the meaning of the distance units used
2014-11-19 04:54:17 +08:00
for the sphere origin and the two radial lengths. For orthogonal
simulation boxes, any of the 3 options may be used. For
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
non-orthogonal (triclinic) simulation boxes, only the < em > reduced< / em > option
may be used.< / p >
< p > A < em > box< / em > value selects standard distance units as defined by the
< a class = "reference internal" href = "units.html" > < em > units< / em > < / a > command, e.g. Angstroms for units = real or metal.
A < em > lattice< / em > value means the distance units are in lattice spacings.
The < a class = "reference internal" href = "lattice.html" > < em > lattice< / em > < / a > command must have been previously used to
define the lattice spacing.< / p >

which represent the lower and upper faces of the simulation box
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
respectively. Thus an < em > origin< / em > value of 0.5 means the center of the

timesteps, a section of bin info will be written to a text file in the
following format. A line with the timestep and number of bin is
written. Then one line per bin is written, containing the bin ID
(1-N), the coordinate of the center of the bin, the number of atoms in
the bin, and one or more calculated values. The number of values in
each line corresponds to the number of values specified in the fix
ave/spatial command. The number of atoms and the value(s) are average
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
quantities. If the value of the < em > units< / em > keyword is < em > box< / em > or
< em > lattice< / em > , the “ coord” is printed in box units. If the value of the
< em > units< / em > keyword is < em > reduced< / em > , the “ coord” is printed in reduced units
(0-1).< / p >
< p > The < em > overwrite< / em > keyword will continuously overwrite the output file
2014-11-19 04:54:17 +08:00
with the latest output, so that it only contains one timestep worth of
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
output. This option can only be used with the < em > ave running< / em > setting.< / p >
< p > The < em > title1< / em > and < em > title2< / em > and < em > title3< / em > keywords allow specification of

the strings that will be printed as the first 3 lines of the output
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
file, assuming the < em > file< / em > keyword was used. LAMMPS uses default
values for each of these, so they do not need to be specified.< / p >
< p > By default, these header lines are as follows:< / p >
< div class = "highlight-python" > < div class = "highlight" > < pre > < span class = "c" > # Spatial-averaged data for fix ID and group name< / span >

< / div >
< p > In the first line, ID and name are replaced with the fix-ID and group
2014-11-19 04:54:17 +08:00
name. The second line describes the two values that are printed at
the first of each section of output. In the third line the values are
replaced with the appropriate fields from the fix ave/spatial command.
The Coord2 and Coord3 entries in the third line only appear for 2d and
3d bins respectively. For 1d bins, the word Coord1 is replaced by
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
just Coord.< / p >

< p > This fix computes a global array of values which can be accessed by

2014-11-19 04:54:17 +08:00
is when averaging is performed. The global array has # of rows =
Nbins and # of columns = 2+Nvalues. The first column contains the
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
radius at the center of the shell. For units < em > reduced< / em > , this is in
reduced units, while for units < em > box< / em > and < em > lattice< / em > this is in box
2014-11-19 04:54:17 +08:00
units. The next column has the count of atoms in that bin, and the
remaining columns are the Nvalue quantities. When the array is
accessed with an I that exceeds the current number of bins, than a 0.0
is returned by the fix instead of an error. The array values
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
calculated by this fix are “ intensive” , since they are already
normalized by the count of atoms in each bin.< / p >
