mass command :h3
[Syntax:]
mass I value :pre
I = atom type (see asterik form below)
value = mass :ul
[Examples:]
mass 1 1.0
mass * 62.5
mass 2* 62.5 :pre
[Description:]
Set the mass for all atoms of one or more atom types. Mass values can
also be set in the "read_data"_read_data.html data file. See the
"units"_units.html command for what mass units to use.
I can be specified in one of two ways. An explicit numeric value can
be used, as in the 1st example above. Or a wild-card asterik can be
used to set the mass for multiple atom types. This takes the form "*"
or "*n" or "n*" or "m*n". If N = the number of atom types, then an
asterik with no numeric values means all types from 1 to N. A leading
asterik means all types from 1 to n (inclusive). A trailing asterik
means all types from n to N (inclusive). A middle asterik means all
types from m to n (inclusive).
A line in a data file that specifies mass uses the exact same format
as the arguments of the mass command in an input script, except that
no wild-card asterik can be used. For example, under the "Masses"
section of a data file, the line that corresponds to the 1st example
above would be listed as
1 1.0 :pre
[Restrictions:]
This command must come after the simulation box is defined by a
"read_data"_read_data.html, "read_restart"_read_restart.html, or
"create_box"_create_box.html command.
All masses must be defined before a simulation is run (if the atom
style requires masses be set). They must also all be defined before a
"velocity"_velocity.html or "fix shake"_fix_shake.html command is
used.
Masses are not set for atom style granular. This is because each atom
is assigned an individual mass in the data or restart file.
