<h2>Description<aclass="headerlink"href="#description"title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Define a computation that calculates the rotational kinetic energy of
a collection of rigid bodies, as defined by one of the <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_rigid.html"><em>fix rigid</em></a> command variants.</p>
<p>The rotational energy of each rigid body is computed as 1/2 I Wbody^2,
<aclass="reference internal"href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span>Section_howto 15</span></a> for an overview of
LAMMPS output options.</p>
<p>The scalar value calculated by this compute is “extensive”. The
scalar value will be in energy <aclass="reference internal"href="units.html"><em>units</em></a>.</p>

<h2>Restrictions<aclass="headerlink"href="#restrictions"title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>This compute is part of the RIGID package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <aclass="reference internal"href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
