</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Dump a snapshot of atom quantities to one or more files every N
|
|
|
|
|
timesteps in one of several styles. As described below, the filename
|
|
|
|
|
determines the kind of output (text or binary or gzipped, one big file
|
|
|
|
|
or one per timestep, one big file or one per processor). Only
|
|
|
|
|
information for atoms in the specified group is dumped. The
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify</A> command can also alter what atoms are
|
|
|
|
|
included. Not all styles support all these options; see details
|
|
|
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
2008-01-17 03:17:20 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: Because periodic boundary conditions are enforced only
|
2008-01-03 03:25:15 +08:00
|
|
|
on timesteps when neighbor lists are rebuilt, the coordinates of an
|
|
|
|
|
atom written to a dump file may be slightly outside the simulation
|
|
|
|
|
box.

2010-09-16 06:15:54 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless the <A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify sort</A> option
|
|
|
|
|
is invoked, the lines of atom information written to dump files
|
2010-09-03 07:27:22 +08:00
|
|
|
(typically one line per atom) will be in an indeterminate order for
|
2010-09-16 06:15:54 +08:00
|
|
|
each snapshot. This is even true when running on a single processor,
|
|
|
|
|
if the <A HREF = "atom_modify.html">atom_modify sort</A> option is on, which it is
|
|
|
|
|
by default. In this case atoms are re-ordered periodically during a
|
|
|
|
|
simulation, due to spatial sorting. It is also true when running in
|
|
|
|
|
parallel, because data for a single snapshot is collected from
|
|
|
|
|
multiple processors.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For the <I>atom</I>, <I>custom</I>, <I>cfg</I>, and <I>local</I> styles, sorting is off by
|
|
|
|
|
default. For the <I>dcd</I>, <I>xtc</I>, and <I>xyz</I> styles, sorting by atom ID
|
|
|
|
|
is on by default. See the <A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify</A> doc page for
|
|
|
|
|
details.

<P>The <I>style</I> keyword determines what atom quantities are written to the
|
|
|
|
|
file and in what format. Settings made via the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify</A> command can also alter the format of
|
|
|
|
|
individual values and the file itself.

<P>The <I>atom</I>, <I>local</I>, and <I>custom</I> styles create files in a simple text
|
2007-04-13 07:23:28 +08:00
|
|
|
format that is self-explanatory when viewing a dump file. Many of the
|
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS <A HREF = "Section_tools.html">post-processing tools</A>, including
|
2010-05-07 23:11:21 +08:00
|
|
|
<A HREF = "http://www.sandia.gov/~sjplimp/pizza.html">Pizza.py</A>, work with
|
2009-03-17 06:44:23 +08:00
|
|
|
this format.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For post-processing purposes the <I>atom</I> and <I>custom</I> text files are
|
|
|
|
|
self-describing in the following sense. The simulation box bounds are
|
|
|
|
|
included in each snapshot and if the box is triclinic
|
|
|
|
|
(non-orthogonal), then the tilt factors are also printed; see the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "region.html">region prism</A> command for a description of tilt factors.
|
|
|
|
|
For triclinic boxes the box bounds themselves (first 2 quantities on
|
|
|
|
|
each line) are a true "bounding box" around the simulation domain,
|
|
|
|
|
which means they include the effect of any tilt. The "ITEM: ATOMS"
|
|
|
|
|
line in each snapshot also lists the meaning of each column of the
|
|
|
|
|
per-atom lines that follow. For example, this would be "id type xs ys
|
|
|
|
|
zs" for the default <I>atom</I> style, and it will be the atom attributes
|
|
|
|
|
you specify in the dump command for the <I>custom</I> style.
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For style <I>atom</I>, atom coordinates are written to the file, along with
|
|
|
|
|
the atom ID and atom type. By default, atom coords are written in a
|
|
|
|
|
scaled format (from 0 to 1). I.e. an x value of 0.25 means the atom
|
|
|
|
|
is at a location 1/4 of the distance from xlo to xhi of the box
|
|
|
|
|
boundaries. The format can be changed to unscaled coords via the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify</A> settings. Image flags can also be
|
|
|
|
|
added for each atom via dump_modify.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Style <I>custom</I> allows you to specify a list of atom attributes to be
|
|
|
|
|
written to the dump file for each atom. Possible attributes are
|
2007-12-14 02:16:20 +08:00
|
|
|
listed above and will appear in the order specified. You cannot
|
|
|
|
|
specify a quantity that is not defined for a particular simulation -
|
|
|
|
|
such as <I>q</I> for atom style <I>bond</I>, since that atom style doesn't
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
assign charges. Dumps occur at the very end of a timestep, so atom
|
|
|
|
|
attributes will include effects due to fixes that are applied during
|
2009-12-18 07:33:42 +08:00
|
|
|
the timestep. An explanation of the possible dump custom attributes
|
|
|
|
|
is given below.
|
|
|
|

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>For style <I>local</I>, local output generated by <A HREF = "compute.html">computes</A>
|
|
|
|
|
and <A HREF = "fix.html">fixes</A> is used to gnerate lines of output that is
|
|
|
|
|
written to the dump file. This local data is typically calculated by
|
|
|
|
|
each processor based on the atoms it owns, but there may be zero or
|
|
|
|
|
more entities per atom, e.g. a list of bond distances. An explanation
|
|
|
|
|
of the possible dump local attributes is given below. Note that by

|
|
|
|
using input from the <A HREF = "compute_property_local.html">compute

<P>Style <I>cfg</I> has the same command syntax as style <I>custom</I> and writes

extended CFG format files, as used by the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "http://mt.seas.upenn.edu/Archive/Graphics/A">AtomEye</A> visualization
|
|
|
|
|
package. Since the extended CFG format uses a single snapshot of the
|
|
|
|
|
system per file, a wild-card "*" must be included in the filename, as
|
|
|
|
|
discussed below. The list of atom attributes for style <I>cfg</I> must
|
2009-09-14 22:32:20 +08:00
|
|
|
begin with "id type xs ys zs", since these quantities are needed to
|
2009-09-03 00:20:52 +08:00
|
|
|
write the CFG files in the appropriate format (though the "id" and
|
|
|
|
|
"type" fields do not appear explicitly in the file). Any remaining
|
|
|
|
|
attributes will be stored as "auxiliary properties" in the CFG files.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you will typically want to use the <A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify
|
|
|
|
|
element</A> command with CFG-formatted files, to
|
|
|
|

associate element names with atom types, so that AtomEye can render

<P>The <I>dcd</I> style writes DCD files, a standard atomic trajectory format
|
|
|
|
|
used by the CHARMM, NAMD, and XPlor molecular dynamics packages. DCD
|
|
|
|
|
files are binary and thus may not be portable to different machines.

2010-09-16 06:15:54 +08:00
|
|
|
The number of atoms per snapshot cannot change with the <I>dcd</I> style.
|
|
|
|
|
The <I>unwrap</I> option of the <A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify</A> command
|
|
|
|
|
allows DCD coordinates to be written "unwrapped" by the image flags
|
2010-10-06 23:58:26 +08:00
|
|
|
for each atom. Unwrapped means that if the atom has passed through
|
|
|
|
|
a periodic boundary one or more times, the value is printed for what
|
|
|
|
|
the coordinate would be if it had not been wrapped back into the
|
|
|
|
|
periodic box. Note that these coordinates may thus be far outside
|
|
|
|
|
the box size stored with the snapshot.

2007-02-23 00:52:24 +08:00

by the GROMACS molecular dynamics package, and described

The precision used in XTC files can be adjusted via the

|
<A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify</A> command. The default value of 1000
|

means that coordinates are stored to 1/1000 nanometer accuracy. XTC
|
2010-10-06 23:58:26 +08:00
|
|
|
files are portable binary files written in the NFS XDR data format,

so that any machine which supports XDR should be able to read them.

atom. Unwrapped means that if the atom has passed thru a periodic

coordinate would be if it had not been wrapped back into the periodic

box. Note that these coordinates may thus be far outside the box size

<P>Dumps are performed on timesteps that are a multiple of N (including

|
|
timestep 0) and on the last timestep of a minimization if the
|
2010-03-03 06:52:34 +08:00
|
|
|
minimization converges. Note that this means a dump will not be
|
|
|
|
|
performed on the initial timestep after the dump command is invoked,
|
|
|
|
|
if the current timestep is not a multiple of N. This behavior can be

changed via the <A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify first</A> command, which
|
|
|
|
|
can be useful if the dump command is invoked after a minimization

ended on an arbitrary timestep. N can be changed between runs by

using the <A HREF = "dump_modify.html">dump_modify every</A> command (not allowed

<P>The specified filename determines how the dump file(s) is written.
|
|
|
|
|
The default is to write one large text file, which is opened when the
|
|
|
|
|
dump command is invoked and closed when an <A HREF = "undump.html">undump</A>
|
|
|

command is used or when LAMMPS exits. For the <I>dcd</I> and <I>xtc</I> styles,

this is a single large binary file.

<P>Dump filenames can contain two wild-card characters. If a "*"
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
character appears in the filename, then one file per snapshot is
|
|
|
|
|
written and the "*" character is replaced with the timestep value.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, tmp.dump.* becomes tmp.dump.0, tmp.dump.10000,
|
|
|
|
|
tmp.dump.20000, etc. This option is not available for the <I>dcd</I> and

|
<I>xtc</I> styles.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>If a "%" character appears in the filename, then one file is written
|
|
|
|
|
for each processor and the "%" character is replaced with the
|
|
|
|
|
processor ID from 0 to P-1. For example, tmp.dump.% becomes
|
|
|
|
|
tmp.dump.0, tmp.dump.1, ... tmp.dump.P-1, etc. This creates smaller
|
|
|
|
|
files and can be a fast mode of output on parallel machines that
|
|
|
|
|
support parallel I/O for output. This option is not available for the
|
|
|
|
|
<I>dcd</I>, <I>xtc</I>, and <I>xyz</I> styles.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Note that the "*" and "%" characters can be used together to produce a
|
|
|
|
|
large number of small dump files!
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>If the filename ends with ".bin", the dump file (or files, if "*" or
|
|
|
|
|
"%" is also used) is written in binary format. A binary dump file
|
|
|
|
|
will be about the same size as a text version, but will typically
|
|
|
|
|
write out much faster. Of course, when post-processing, you will need
|
|
|
|
|
to convert it back to text format (see the <A HREF = "Section_tools.html#binary">binary2txt
|
|
|
|
|
tool</A>) or write your own code to read the
|
|
|
|
|
binary file. The format of the binary file can be understood by
|
|
|
|
|
looking at the tools/binary2txt.cpp file. This option is only
|
|
|
|
|
available for the <I>atom</I> and <I>custom</I> styles.
|
|

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>If the filename ends with ".gz", the dump file (or files, if "*" or "%"
|
|
|
|
|
is also used) is written in gzipped format. A gzipped dump file will
|
|
|
|
|
be about 3x smaller than the text version, but will also take longer
|
|
|
|
|
to write. This option is not available for the <I>dcd</I> and <I>xtc</I>

can be referenced, since it is the only style that generates per-atom
|
|
|
|
|
values. Variables of style <I>atom</I> can reference individual atom
|
|
|
|
|
attributes, per-atom atom attributes, thermodynamic keywords, or
|
|
|
|
|
invoke other computes, fixes, or variables when they are evaluated, so
|
|
|
|
|
this is a very general means of creating quantities to output to a
|
|
|
|
|
dump file.

<P>To write gzipped dump files, you must compile LAMMPS with the
|
|
|
|
|
-DLAMMPS_GZIP option - see the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_2">Making LAMMPS</A>
|
|
|
|
|
section of the documentation.

<P>The <I>xtc</I> style is part of the "xtc" package. It is only enabled if
|
2007-06-25 22:36:36 +08:00
|
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_3">Making
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
LAMMPS</A> section for more info. This is because
|
2010-10-06 23:58:26 +08:00
|
|
|
some machines may not support the low-level XDR data format that XTC
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
files are written with, which will result in a compile-time error when
|
2010-10-06 23:58:26 +08:00
|
|
|
a low-level include file is not found. Putting this style in a package
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
makes it easy to exclude from a LAMMPS build for those machines.
|
2008-01-18 02:29:47 +08:00
|
|
|
However, the XTC package also includes two compatibility header files
|
|
|
|
|
and associated functions, which should be a suitable substitute on
|
|
|
|
|
machines that do not have the appropriate native header files. This
|
|
|
|
|
option can be invoked at build time by adding -DLAMMPS_XDR to the
|
2010-10-06 23:58:26 +08:00
|
|
|
CCFLAGS variable in the appropriate low-level Makefile,
|
2008-02-20 05:47:37 +08:00
|
|
|
e.g. src/MAKE/Makefile.foo. This compatibility mode has been tested
|
2010-10-06 23:58:26 +08:00
|
|
|
successfully on Cray XT3/XT4/XT5 and IBM BlueGene/L machines and
|
|
|
|
|
should also work on IBM BG/P, and Windows XP/Vista/7 machines.
