|
|
|
Quantities calculated by a compute are instantaneous values, meaning
|
|
|
|
|
they are calculated from information about atoms on the current
|
|
|
|
|
timestep or iteration. There are two kinds of computes, "global"
|
|
|
|
|
computes that calculate one or more values for the entire group of
|
|
|
|
|
atoms, and "per-atom" computes that calculate one or more values for
|
|
|
|
|
each atom in the group. The latter has the word "atom" in its style
|
|
|
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>In LAMMPS, a "compute" can be used in several ways. The results of
|
|
|
|
|
global computes can be output via the <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style
|
2007-09-28 07:25:52 +08:00
|
|
|
custom</A> or <A HREF = "fix_ave_time.html">fix ave/time</A> command.
|
2008-01-03 03:25:15 +08:00
|
|
|
Or the values can be referenced in a <A HREF = "variable.html">variable equal</A> or
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "variable.html">variable atom</A> command. The results of computes that
|
|
|
|
|
calculate a global temperature or pressure can be used by fixes that
|
|
|
|
|
do thermostatting or barostatting and when atom velocities are
|
|
|
|
|
created.
|
2007-09-28 07:25:52 +08:00
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The results of per-atom computes can be output via the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump
|
|
|
|
|
custom</A> command or the <A HREF = "fix_ave_spatial.html">fix
|
|
|
|
|
ave/spatial</A> command. Or the per-atom values can
|
|
|
|
|
be time-averaged via the <A HREF = "fix_ave_atom.html">fix ave/atom</A> command and
|
|
|
|
|
then output via the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A> or <A HREF = "fix_ave_spatial.html">fix
|
2008-01-03 03:25:15 +08:00
|
|
|
ave/spatial</A> commands. Or the per-atom values
|
|
|
|
|
can be referenced in a <A HREF = "variable.html">variable atom</A> command. Note
|
|
|
|
|
that the value of per-atom computes will be 0.0 for atoms not in the
|
|
|
|
|
specified compute group.

2008-01-03 03:25:15 +08:00
|

various LAMMPS output options, many of which involve computes.

<P>The ID of a compute can only contain alphanumeric characters and

underscores.

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The results of computes that calculate global quantities can be either
|
|
|
|
|
"intensive" or "extensive" values. Intensive means the value is
|
|
|
|
|
independent of the number of atoms in the simulation,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. temperature. Extensive means the value scales with the number of
|
|
|
|
|
atoms in the simulation, e.g. total rotational kinetic energy.
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">Thermodynamic output</A> will normalize extensive
|
|
|
|
|
values depending on the "thermo_modify norm" setting. But if a
|
|
|
|
|
compute value is accessed in another way, e.g. by a
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "variable.html">variable</A>, you may need to know whether it is an
|
|
|
|
|
intensive or extensive value. See the doc page for individual
|
|
|
|
|
computes for further info.

<P>LAMMPS creates its own global computes for thermodynamic output.
|
|
|
|
|
Three computes are always created, named "thermo_temp",
|
2008-01-18 07:46:30 +08:00
|
|
|
"thermo_press", and "thermo_pe", as if these commands had been invoked
|
|

|
in the input script:

<P>Additional computes for other quantities are created if the thermo

<P>Fixes that calculate temperature or pressure, i.e. for thermostatting
|
|
|
|

or barostatting, may also create computes. These are discussed in the

documentation for specific <A HREF = "fix.html">fix</A> commands.
