file. Note that if no time averaging is done, this command can be
used as a convenient way to simply output one or more global values to
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
a file.< / p >
< p > The group specified with this command is ignored. However, note that
2010-08-13 07:10:38 +08:00
specified values may represent calculations performed by computes and
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
fixes which store their own “ group” definitions.< / p >

2009-12-15 09:21:23 +08:00
must produce a global quantity, not a per-atom or local quantity. If
you wish to spatial- or time-average or histogram per-atom quantities
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
from a compute, fix, or variable, then see the < a class = "reference internal" href = "fix_ave_spatial.html" > < em > fix ave/spatial< / em > < / a > , < a class = "reference internal" href = "fix_ave_atom.html" > < em > fix ave/atom< / em > < / a > ,
or < a class = "reference internal" href = "fix_ave_histo.html" > < em > fix ave/histo< / em > < / a > commands. If you wish to sum a
per-atom quantity into a single global quantity, see the < a class = "reference internal" href = "compute_reduce.html" > < em > compute reduce< / em > < / a > command.< / p >
< p > < a class = "reference internal" href = "compute.html" > < em > Computes< / em > < / a > that produce global quantities are those which

< p > The input values must either be all scalars or all vectors (or
arrays), depending on the setting of the < em > mode< / em > keyword. In both
2010-05-25 00:49:35 +08:00
cases, the averaging is performed independently on each input value.
I.e. each input scalar is averaged independently and each element of
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
each input vector (or array) is averaged independently.< / p >
< p > If < em > mode< / em > = vector, then the input values may either be vectors or
arrays and all must be the same “ length” , which is the length of the
2010-05-25 00:49:35 +08:00
vector or number of rows in the array. If a global array is listed,
then it is the same as if the individual columns of the array had been
listed one by one. E.g. these 2 fix ave/time commands are equivalent,
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
since the < a class = "reference internal" href = "compute_rdf.html" > < em > compute rdf< / em > < / a > command creates, in this

timesteps the input values will be used in order to contribute to the
2010-11-23 23:13:14 +08:00
average. The final averaged quantities are generated on timesteps
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
that are a mlutiple of < em > Nfreq< / em > . The average is over < em > Nrepeat< / em >

quantities, computed in the preceding portion of the simulation every
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00

2008-03-01 09:13:20 +08:00
on timestep 100. Similarly for timesteps 190,192,194,196,198,200 on
2008-01-03 03:25:15 +08:00
timestep 200, etc. If Nrepeat=1 and Nfreq = 100, then no time

used as input for < em > mode< / em > = scalar. Only equal-style variables can be
referenced. See the < a class = "reference internal" href = "variable.html" > < em > variable< / em > < / a > command for details.
Note that variables of style < em > equal< / em > define a formula which can
2008-01-03 03:25:15 +08:00
reference individual atom properties or thermodynamic keywords, or
they can invoke other computes, fixes, or variables when they are
2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00

2010-08-10 07:46:14 +08:00
vectors, or columns of global arrays. They can also be global arrays,

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

< p > If the < em > ave< / em > setting is < em > running< / em > , then the values produced on
timesteps that are multiples of < em > Nfreq< / em > are summed and averaged in a
2010-08-13 07:10:38 +08:00
cummulative sense before being output. Each output value is thus the
2008-03-01 09:13:20 +08:00
average of the value produced on that timestep with all preceding
2007-10-19 06:27:53 +08:00
values. This running average begins when the fix is defined; it can
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
only be restarted by deleting the fix via the < a class = "reference internal" href = "unfix.html" > < em > unfix< / em > < / a >
command, or by re-defining the fix by re-specifying it.< / p >
< p > If the < em > ave< / em > setting is < em > window< / em > , then the 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 are used to
2007-10-19 06:02:20 +08:00
produce the output. E.g. if M = 3 and Nfreq = 1000, then the output
on step 10000 will be the average of the individual values on steps
8000,9000,10000. Outputs on early steps will average over less than M
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
values if they are not available.< / p >
< p > The < em > start< / em > keyword specifies what timestep averaging will begin on.
2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00
The default is step 0. Often input values can be 0.0 at time 0, so
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
setting < em > start< / em > to a larger value can avoid including a 0.0 in a
running or windowed average.< / p >
< p > The < em > off< / em > keyword can be used to flag any of the input values. If a
2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00
value is flagged, it will not be time averaged. Instead the most
recent input value will always be stored and output. This is useful
if one of more of the inputs produced by a compute or fix or variable
are effectively constant or are simply current values. E.g. they are
being written to a file with other time-averaged values for purposes
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
of creating well-formatted output.< / p >
< p > The < em > file< / em > keyword allows a filename to be specified. Every < em > Nfreq< / em >
2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00
steps, one quantity or vector of quantities is written to the file for
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
each input value specified in the fix ave/time command. For < em > mode< / em > =
2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00
scalar, this means a single line is written each time output is
performed. Thus the file ends up to be a series of lines, i.e. one
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
column of numbers for each input value. For < em > mode< / em > = vector, an array
2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00
of numbers is written each time output is performed. The number of
rows is the length of the input vectors, and the number of columns is
the number of values. Thus the file ends up to be a series of these
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
array sections.< / p >
< p > The < em > overwrite< / em > keyword will continuously overwrite the output file
2012-06-19 22:10:51 +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 >
2015-08-19 07:22:43 +08:00
< p > The < em > format< / em > keyword sets the numeric format of each value when it is
printed to a file via the < em > file< / em > keyword. Note that all values are
floating point quantities. The default format is %g. You can specify
a higher precision if desired, e.g. %20.16g.< / p >
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
< p > The < em > title1< / em > and < em > title2< / em > and < em > title3< / em > keywords allow specification of
2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00
the strings that will be printed as the first 2 or 3 lines of the
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
output 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 for < em > mode< / em > = scalar:< / p >

< p > In the first line, ID is replaced with the fix-ID. In the second line
2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00
the values are replaced with the appropriate fields from the fix
ave/time command. There is no third line in the header of the file,
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
so the < em > title3< / em > setting is ignored when < em > mode< / em > = scalar.< / p >

2009-12-12 05:41:25 +08:00
describes the two values that are printed at the first of each section

2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
appropriate fields from the fix ave/time command.< / p >

< p > A scalar is produced if only a single input value is averaged and

inputs. In the second case, the length of the vector is the same as
the length of the input vector. An array is produced if multiple

“ extensive” . If a compute or fix provides the value being time
