|
|
|
|
|
<P>Perform updates of position and velocity for atoms in the group each
|
|
|
|
|
timestep using the specified settings or formulas, without regard to
|
|
|
|
|
forces on the atoms. This can be useful for boundary or other atoms,

|
|
whose movement can influence nearby atoms.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: The atoms affected by this fix should not normally be
|
2010-04-03 00:51:06 +08:00
|
|
|
time integrated by other fixes (e.g. <A HREF = "fix_nve.html">fix nve</A>, <A HREF = "fix_nh.html">fix
|
2009-12-04 01:57:33 +08:00
|
|
|
nvt</A>), since that will change their positions and
|
|
|
|
|
velocities twice.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: As atoms move due to this fix, they will pass thru
|
|
|
|
|
periodic boundaries and be remapped to the other side of the
|
|
|
|
|
simulation box, just as they would during normal time integration
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. via the <A HREF = "fix_nve.html">fix nve</A> command). It is up to you to
|
|
|
|
|
decide whether periodic boundaries are appropriate with the kind of
|
|
|
|
|
atom motion you are prescribing with this fix.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: As dicsussed below, atoms are moved relative to their
|
|
|
|
|
initial position at the time the fix is specified. These initial
|
|
|
|
|
coordinates are stored by the fix in "unwrapped" form, by using the
|
|
|
|
|
image flags associated with each atom. See the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump
|
|
|
|
|
custom</A> command for a discussion of "unwrapped" coordinates.
|
|
|
|
|
See the Atoms section of the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command for a
|
|
|
|
|
discussion of image flags and how they are set for each atom. You can
|
|
|
|
|
reset the image flags (e.g. to 0) before invoking this fix by using
|
|
|
|
|
the <A HREF = "set.html">set image</A> command.

(Vx,Vy,Vz). If any of the velocity components is specified as NULL,

2009-12-04 02:37:34 +08:00

elapsed since the fix was specified. This style also sets the

|
velocity of each atom to the time derivative of this expression. If
|
|
|

|
any of the amplitude components is specified as NULL, then the
|

(Rx,Ry,Rz) that goes thru a point <I>P</I> = (Px,Py,Pz). The <I>period</I> of
|
|
|
|
|
the rotation is also specified. This style also sets the velocity of
|
|
|
|
|
each atom to (omega cross Rperp) where omega is its angular velocity
|
|
|
|
|
around the rotation axis and Rperp is a perpendicular vector from the
|
|
|
|
|
rotation axis to the atom. If the defined
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style</A> assigns an angular velocity to each atom,
|
2010-01-12 04:54:59 +08:00
|
|
|
then each atom's angular velocity is also set to omega. Note that the
|
|
|
|
|
direction of rotation for the atoms around the rotation axis is
|
2010-01-12 06:22:22 +08:00
|
|
|
consistent with the right-hand rule: if your right-hand's thumb points
|
|

|
|
along <I>R</I>, then your fingers wrap around the axis in the direction of
|
|
|
|
|
rotation.

<P>The <I>variable</I> style allows the position and velocity components of

|
each atom to be set by formulas specified via the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "variable.html">variable</A> command. Each of the 6 variables is

2010-08-13 07:10:38 +08:00

specified as an argument to the fix as v_name, where name is the

<P>Each variable must be of either the <I>equal</I> or <I>atom</I> style.

<I>Equal</I>-style variables compute a single numeric quantity, that can be

a function of the timestep as well as of other simulation values.

2009-12-04 02:42:19 +08:00
|

well as of the timestep and other simulation values. Note that this

|
fix stores the original coordinates of each atom (see note below) so

that per-atom quantity can be used in an atom-style variable formula.

<P>The first 3 variables (v_dx,v_dy,v_dz) specified for the <I>variable</I>

position at the time the fix was specified. The second 3 variables

atom.

displacement and velocity variables for a particular x,y,z component

are specified as NULL, then the position and velocity of that

command would perform, using the corresponding force component on the

atom. If only the velocity variable for a component is specified as

|
|
|
|
NULL, then the displacement variable will be used to set the position
|
|
|
|
|
of the atom, and its velocity component will not be changed. If only
|
|
|
|
|
the displacement variable for a component is specified as NULL, then
|
|
|
|
|
the velocity variable will be used to set the velocity of the atom,

velocity.

in Angstroms for units = real. A <I>lattice</I> value means the velocity

units are in lattice spacings per time and the amplitude and position
|
|
|
|

are in lattice spacings. The <A HREF = "lattice.html">lattice</A> command must have

been previously used to define the lattice spacing. Each of these 3
