|
|
|
<P>Style <I>table</I> creates interpolation tables of length <I>N</I> from bond
|
|
|
|
|
potential and force values listed in a file(s) as a function of bond
|
|
|
|
|
length. The files are read by the <A HREF = "bond_coeff.html">bond_coeff</A>
|
|
|
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The interpolation tables are created by fitting cubic splines to the
|
|
|
|
|
file values and interpolating energy and force values at each of <I>N</I>
|
|
|
|
|
distances. During a simulation, these tables are used to interpolate
|
|
|
|
|
energy and force values as needed. The interpolation is done in one
|
|
|
|
|
of 2 styles: <I>linear</I> or <I>spline</I>.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For the <I>linear</I> style, the bond length is used to find 2 surrounding
|
|
|
|
|
table values from which an energy or force is computed by linear
|
|
|
|
|
interpolation.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For the <I>spline</I> style, a cubic spline coefficients are computed and
|
|
|
|
|
stored at each of the <I>N</I> values in the table. The bond length is
|
|
|
|
|
used to find the appropriate set of coefficients which are used to
|
|
|
|
|
evaluate a cubic polynomial which computes the energy or force.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each bond type via the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "bond_coeff.html">bond_coeff</A> command as in the example above.

<P>A section begins with a non-blank line whose 1st character is not a

"#"; blank lines or lines starting with "#" can be used as comments
|
|
|

|
between sections. The first line begins with a keyword which
|
|
|
|
|
identifies the section. The line can contain additional text, but the
|
|
|
|
|
initial text must match the argument specified in the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "bond_coeff.html">bond_coeff</A> command. The next line lists (in any
|
|
|
|
|
order) one or more parameters for the table. Each parameter is a
|
|
|
|
|
keyword followed by one or more numeric values.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The parameter "N" is required and its value is the number of table
|
|
|
|
|
entries that follow. Note that this may be different than the <I>N</I>
|
|
|
|
|
specified in the <A HREF = "bond_style.html">bond_style table</A> command. Let
|
|
|
|
|
Ntable = <I>N</I> in the bond_style command, and Nfile = "N" in the
|
|
|
|
|
tabulated file. What LAMMPS does is a preliminary interpolation by
|
|
|
|
|
creating splines using the Nfile tabulated values as nodal points. It
|
|
|
|
|
uses these to interpolate as needed to generate energy and force
|
|
|
|
|
values at Ntable different points. The resulting tables of length
|
|
|
|
|
Ntable are then used as described above, when computing energy and
|
|
|
|
|
force for individual bond lengths. This means that if you want the
|
|
|
|
|
interpolation tables of length Ntable to match exactly what is in the
|
|
|
|
|
tabulated file (with effectively no preliminary interpolation), you
|
|
|
|
|
should set Ntable = Nfile.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The "FP" parameter is optional. If used, it is followed by two values
|
|
|
|
|
fplo and fphi, which are the derivatives of the force at the innermost
|
|
|
|
|
and outermost bond lengths. These values are needed by the spline
|
|
|
|
|
construction routines. If not specified by the "FP" parameter, they
|
|
|
|
|
are estimated (less accurately) by the first two and last two force
|
|
|
|
|
values in the table.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The "EQ" parameter is also optional. If used, it is followed by a the
|
|
|
|
|
equilibrium bond length, which is used, for example, by the <A HREF = "fix_shake.html">fix
|
|
|
|
|
shake</A> command. If not used, the equilibrium bond
|
|
|
|
|
length is set to 0.0.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Following a blank line, the next N lines list the tabulated values.
|
|
|
|
|
On each line, the 1st value is the index from 1 to N, the 2nd value is
|
|
|
|
|
the bond length r (in distance units), the 3rd value is the energy (in
|
|
|
|
|
energy units), and the 4th is the force (in force units). The bond
|
2010-06-16 23:36:21 +08:00
|
|
|
lengths must range from a LO value to a HI value, and increase from
|
|
|
|
|
one line to the next. If the actual bond length is ever smaller than
|
|
|
|
|
the LO value or larger than the HI value, then the bond energy and
|
|
|
|
|
force is evaluated as if the bond were the LO or HI length.

|
|
<P>Note that one file can contain many sections, each with a tabulated
|
|
|
|
|
potential. LAMMPS reads the file section by section until it finds
|
|
|
|
|
one that matches the specified keyword.
