< / PRE >
< P > < B > Description:< / B >
< / P >
< P > Set one or more properties of one or more atoms. Since atom
properties are initially assigned by the < A HREF = "read_data.html" > read_data< / A > ,
< A HREF = "read_restart.html" > read_restart< / A > or < A HREF = "create_atoms.html" > create_atoms< / A >
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
commands, this command changes those assignments. This can be useful
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
for overriding the default values assigned by the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< A HREF = "create_atoms.html" > create_atoms< / A > command (e.g. charge = 0.0). It can
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
be useful for altering pairwise and molecular force interactions,
since force-field coefficients are defined in terms of types. It can
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
be used to change the labeling of atoms by atom type or molecule ID
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
when they are output in < A HREF = "dump.html" > dump< / A > files. It can also be useful
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
for debugging purposes; i.e. positioning an atom at a precise location
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
to compute subsequent forces or energy.
< / P >
< P > Note that the < I > style< / I > and < I > ID< / I > arguments determine which atoms have
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
their properties reset. The remaining keywords specify which
properties to reset and what the new values are. Some strings like
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< I > type< / I > or < I > mol< / I > can be used as a style and/or a keyword.
< / P >
< HR >
< P > This section describes how to select which atoms to change
the properties of, via the < I > style< / I > and < I > ID< / I > arguments.
< / P >
< P > The style < I > atom< / I > selects all the atoms in a range of atom IDs. The
style < I > type< / I > selects all the atoms in a range of types. The style
< I > mol< / I > selects all the atoms in a range of molecule IDs.
< / P >
< P > In each of the range cases, the range can be specified as a single
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
numeric value, or a wildcard asterisk can be used to specify a range
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
of values. This takes the form "*" or "*n" or "n*" or "m*n". For
example, for the style < I > type< / I > , if N = the number of atom types, then
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
an asterisk with no numeric values means all types from 1 to N. A
leading asterisk means all types from 1 to n (inclusive). A trailing
asterisk means all types from n to N (inclusive). A middle asterisk
means all types from m to n (inclusive). For all the styles except
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< I > mol< / I > , the lowest value for the wildcard is 1; for < I > mol< / I > it is 0.
< / P >
< P > The style < I > group< / I > selects all the atoms in the specified group. The
style < I > region< / I > selects all the atoms in the specified geometric
region. See the < A HREF = "group.html" > group< / A > and < A HREF = "region.html" > region< / A > commands
for details of how to specify a group or region.
< / P >
< HR >
< P > This section describes the keyword options for which properties to
change, for the selected atoms.
< / P >
< P > Note that except where explicitly prohibited below, all of the
keywords allow an < A HREF = "variable.html" > atom-style or atomfile-style
variable< / A > to be used as the specified value(s). If the
2014-06-03 00:17:38 +08:00
value is a variable, it should be specified as v_name, where name is
the variable name. In this case, the variable will be evaluated, and
its resulting per-atom value used to determine the value assigned to
each selected atom. Note that the per-atom value from the variable
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
will be ignored for atoms that are not selected via the < I > style< / I > and
< I > ID< / I > settings explained above. A simple way to use per-atom values
2014-06-03 00:17:38 +08:00
from the variable to reset a property for all atoms is to use style
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< I > atom< / I > with < I > ID< / I > = "*"; this selects all atom IDs.
< / P >
< P > Atom-style variables can specify formulas with various mathematical
functions, and include < A HREF = "thermo_style.html" > thermo_style< / A > command
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
keywords for the simulation box parameters and timestep and elapsed
time. They can also include per-atom values, such as atom
coordinates. Thus it is easy to specify a time-dependent or
spatially-dependent set of per-atom values. As explained on the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< A HREF = "variable.html" > variable< / A > doc page, atomfile-style variables can be
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
used in place of atom-style variables, and thus as arguments to the
set command. Atomfile-style variables read their per-atoms values
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
from a file.
< / P >
< P > IMPORTANT NOTE: Atom-style and atomfile-style variables return
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
floating point per-atom values. If the values are assigned to an
integer variable, such as the molecule ID, then the floating point
value is truncated to its integer portion, e.g. a value of 2.6 would
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
become 2.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > type< / I > sets the atom type for all selected atoms. The
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
specified value must be from 1 to ntypes, where ntypes was set by the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< A HREF = "create_box.html" > create_box< / A > command or the < I > atom types< / I > field in the
header of the data file read by the < A HREF = "read_data.html" > read_data< / A >
command.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > type/fraction< / I > sets the atom type for a fraction of the
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
selected atoms. The actual number of atoms changed is not guaranteed
2008-03-01 09:13:20 +08:00
to be exactly the requested fraction, but should be statistically
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
close. Random numbers are used in such a way that a particular atom
is changed or not changed, regardless of how many processors are being
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
used. This keyword does not allow use of an atom-style variable.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > mol< / I > sets the molecule ID for all selected atoms. The < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom

IDs.
< / P >
< P > Keywords < I > x< / I > , < I > y< / I > , < I > z< / I > , and < I > charge< / I > set the coordinates or charge of
all selected atoms. For < I > charge< / I > , the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom style< / A >
being used must support the use of atomic charge.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > dipole< / I > uses the specified x,y,z values as components of a
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
vector to set as the orientation of the dipole moment vectors of the
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
selected atoms. The magnitude of the dipole moment is set
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
by the length of this orientation vector.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > dipole/random< / I > randomizes the orientation of the dipole
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
moment vectors of the selected atoms and sets the magnitude of each to
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
the specified < I > Dlen< / I > value. For 2d systems, the z component of the
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
orientation is set to 0.0. Random numbers are used in such a way that
the orientation of a particular atom is the same, regardless of how
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
many processors are being used. This keyword does not allow use of an
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
atom-style variable.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > quat< / I > uses the specified values to create a quaternion
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
(4-vector) that represents the orientation of the selected atoms. The
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
particles must be ellipsoids as defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style
ellipsoid< / A > command or triangles as defined by the
< A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style tri< / A > command. Note that particles defined
by < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style ellipsoid< / A > have 3 shape parameters.
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
The 3 values must be non-zero for each particle set by this command.
They are used to specify the aspect ratios of an ellipsoidal particle,
which is oriented by default with its x-axis along the simulation
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
box's x-axis, and similarly for y and z. If this body is rotated (via
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
the right-hand rule) by an angle theta around a unit rotation vector
(a,b,c), then the quaternion that represents its new orientation is
given by (cos(theta/2), a*sin(theta/2), b*sin(theta/2),
c*sin(theta/2)). The theta and a,b,c values are the arguments to the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< I > quat< / I > keyword. LAMMPS normalizes the quaternion in case (a,b,c) was
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
not specified as a unit vector. For 2d systems, the a,b,c values are
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
ignored, since a rotation vector of (0,0,1) is the only valid choice.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > quat/random< / I > randomizes the orientation of the quaternion of
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
the selected atoms. The particles must be ellipsoids as defined by
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style ellipsoid< / A > command or triangles as
defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style tri< / A > command. Random
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
numbers are used in such a way that the orientation of a particular
atom is the same, regardless of how many processors are being used.
For 2d systems, only orientations in the xy plane are generated. As
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
with keyword < I > quat< / I > , for ellipsoidal particles, the 3 shape values
2013-07-25 08:09:27 +08:00
must be non-zero for each particle set by this command. This keyword
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
does not allow use of an atom-style variable.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > diameter< / I > sets the size of the selected atoms. The particles
must be finite-size spheres as defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style
sphere< / A > command. The diameter of a particle can be
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
set to 0.0, which means they will be treated as point particles. Note
that this command does not adjust the particle mass, even if it was
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
defined with a density, e.g. via the < A HREF = "read_data.html" > read_data< / A >
command.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > shape< / I > sets the size and shape of the selected atoms. The
particles must be ellipsoids as defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style
ellipsoid< / A > command. The < I > Sx< / I > , < I > Sy< / I > , < I > Sz< / I > settings are
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
the 3 diameters of the ellipsoid in each direction. All 3 can be set
to the same value, which means the ellipsoid is effectively a sphere.
2011-04-16 07:14:41 +08:00
They can also all be set to 0.0 which means the particle will be
treated as a point particle. Note that this command does not adjust
the particle mass, even if it was defined with a density, e.g. via the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< A HREF = "read_data.html" > read_data< / A > command.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > length< / I > sets the length of selected atoms. The particles
must be line segments as defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style
line< / A > command. If the specified value is non-zero the
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
line segment is (re)set to a length = the specified value, centered
around the particle position, with an orientation along the x-axis.
If the specified value is 0.0, the particle will become a point
particle. Note that this command does not adjust the particle mass,
even if it was defined with a density, e.g. via the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< A HREF = "read_data.html" > read_data< / A > command.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > tri< / I > sets the size of selected atoms. The particles must be
triangles as defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style tri< / A > command.
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
If the specified value is non-zero the triangle is (re)set to be an
equilateral triangle in the xy plane with side length = the specified
value, with a centroid at the particle position, with its base
parallel to the x axis, and the y-axis running from the center of the
base to the top point of the triangle. If the specified value is 0.0,
the particle will become a point particle. Note that this command
does not adjust the particle mass, even if it was defined with a
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
density, e.g. via the < A HREF = "read_data.html" > read_data< / A > command.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > theta< / I > sets the orientation of selected atoms. The particles
must be line segments as defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style
line< / A > command. The specified value is used to set the
orientation angle of the line segments with respect to the x axis.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > angmom< / I > sets the angular momentum of selected atoms. The
particles must be ellipsoids as defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style
ellipsoid< / A > command or triangles as defined by the
< A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style tri< / A > command. The angular momentum vector
of the particles is set to the 3 specified components.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > mass< / I > sets the mass of all selected particles. The particles
2011-04-16 07:14:41 +08:00
must have a per-atom mass attribute, as defined by the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style< / A > command. See the "mass" command for how
to set mass values on a per-type basis.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > density< / I > also sets the mass of all selected particles, but in
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
a different way. The particles must have a per-atom mass attribute,
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
as defined by the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style< / A > command. If the atom
has a radius attribute (see < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style sphere< / A > ) and
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
its radius is non-zero, its mass is set from the density and particle
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
volume. If the atom has a shape attribute (see < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style
ellipsoid< / A > ) and its 3 shape parameters are non-zero,
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
then its mass is set from the density and particle volume. If the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
atom has a length attribute (see < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style line< / A > )
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
and its length is non-zero, then its mass is set from the density and
line segment length (the input density is assumed to be in
mass/distance units). If the atom has an area attribute (see
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style tri< / A > ) and its area is non-zero, then its
2011-10-20 23:01:56 +08:00
mass is set from the density and triangle area (the input density is
assumed to be in mass/distance^2 units). If none of these cases are
valid, then the mass is set to the density value directly (the input
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
density is assumed to be in mass units).
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > volume< / I > sets the volume of all selected particles.
Currently, only the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style peri< / A > command defines
2011-04-14 05:39:34 +08:00
particles with a volume attribute. Note that this command does not
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
adjust the particle mass.
< / P >
< P > Keyword < I > image< / I > sets which image of the simulation box the atom is
2011-02-16 05:14:11 +08:00
considered to be in. An image of 0 means it is inside the box as
defined. A value of 2 means add 2 box lengths to get the true value.
A value of -1 means subtract 1 box length to get the true value.
LAMMPS updates these flags as atoms cross periodic boundaries during
the simulation. The flags can be output with atom snapshots via the
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
< A HREF = "dump.html" > dump< / A > command. If a value of NULL is specified for any of
2011-02-16 05:14:11 +08:00
nx,ny,nz, then the current image value for that dimension is
2011-02-16 05:25:32 +08:00
unchanged. For non-periodic dimensions only a value of 0 can be
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
specified. This keyword does not allow use of atom-style variables.
< / P >
< P > This command can be useful after a system has been equilibrated and
2008-08-20 22:56:12 +08:00
atoms have diffused one or more box lengths in various directions.
This command can then reset the image values for atoms so that they
are effectively inside the simulation box, e.g if a diffusion
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
coefficient is about to be measured via the < A HREF = "compute_msd.html" > compute
msd< / A > command. Care should be taken not to reset the
2010-05-07 23:11:21 +08:00
image flags of two atoms in a bond to the same value if the bond
straddles a periodic boundary (rather they should be different by +/-
1). This will not affect the dynamics of a simulation, but may mess
up analysis of the trajectories if a LAMMPS diagnostic or your own
analysis relies on the image flags to unwrap a molecule which
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
straddles the periodic box.
< / P >
< P > Keywords < I > bond< / I > , < I > angle< / I > , < I > dihedral< / I > , and < I > improper< / I > , set the bond

the specified value from 1 to nbondtypes (nangletypes, etc). All
atoms in a particular bond (angle, etc) must be selected atoms in
order for the change to be made. The value of nbondtype (nangletypes,
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
etc) was set by the < I > bond types< / I > (< I > angle types< / I > , etc) field in the
header of the data file read by the < A HREF = "read_data.html" > read_data< / A >

< A HREF = "fix_property_atom.html" > fix property/atom< / A > command. When that command
2013-07-26 04:59:36 +08:00
is used specific names are given to each attribute which are what is
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00

< / P >
< P > You cannot set an atom attribute (e.g. < I > mol< / I > or < I > q< / I > or < I > volume< / I > ) if
the < A HREF = "atom_style.html" > atom_style< / A > does not have that attribute.
< / P >
< P > This command requires inter-processor communication to coordinate the
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
setting of bond types (angle types, etc). This means that your system
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
must be ready to perform a simulation before using one of these
keywords (force fields set, atom mass set, etc). This is not
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
necessary for other keywords.
< / P >
< P > Using the < I > region< / I > style with the bond (angle, etc) keywords can give
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
unpredictable results if there are bonds (angles, etc) that straddle
periodic boundaries. This is because the region may only extend up to
the boundary and partner atoms in the bond (angle, etc) may have
2015-07-30 22:38:28 +08:00
coordinates outside the simulation box if they are ghost atoms.
