|
<P>Set the formula(s) LAMMPS uses to compute angle interactions between
|
|
|
|
triplets of atoms, which remain in force for the duration of the
|
|
|
|
simulation. The list of angle triplets is read in by a
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> or <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> command
|
|
|
|
from a data or restart file.
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>Hybrid models where angles are computed using different angle
|
|
|
|
potentials can be setup using the <I>hybrid</I> angle style.
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>The coefficients associated with a angle style can be specified in a
|
|
|
|
data or restart file or via the <A HREF = "angle_coeff.html">angle_coeff</A> command.
|
|
|
|
</P>
|

|
|
|
<P>All angle potentials store their coefficient data in binary restart
|
|
|
|
files which means angle_style and <A HREF = "angle_coeff.html">angle_coeff</A>
|
|
|
|
commands do not need to be re-specified in an input script that
|
|
|
|
restarts a simulation. See the <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A>
|
|
|
|
command for details on how to do this. The one exception is that
|
|
|
|
angle_style <I>hybrid</I> only stores the list of sub-styles in the restart
|
|
|
|
file; angle coefficients need to be re-specified.
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: When both an angle and pair style is defined, the
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "special_bonds.html">special_bonds</A> command often needs to be used to
|
|
|
|
turn off (or weight) the pairwise interaction that would otherwise
|
|
|
|
exist between 3 bonded atoms.
|
|
|
|
</P>

|
|
|
<P>In the formulas listed for each angle style, <I>theta</I> is the angle
|
|
|
|
between the 3 atoms in the angle.

<P>Most angle styles are part of the "molecular" package. They are only
|
|
|
|
enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_3">Making
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS</A> section for more info on packages. The
|
|
|
|
doc pages for individual bond potentials tell if it is part of a
|
|
|
|
package.
