<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Set the dimensionality of the simulation. By default LAMMPS runs 3d
simulations. To run a 2d simulation, this command should be used
prior to setting up a simulation box via the
<A HREF = "create_box.html">create_box</A> or <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> commands.
Restart files also store this setting.
</P>
<P>See the discussion in <A HREF = "Section_howto.html">this section</A> for additional
instructions on how to run 2d simulations.
</P>
<P><B>Restrictions:</B>
</P>
<P>This command must be used before the simulation box is defined by a
<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> or <A HREF = "create_box.html">create_box</A> command.
