<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Perform constant NVT integration to update position, velocity,
orientation, and angular velocity each timestep for aspherical or
ellipsoidal particles in the group using a Nose/Hoover temperature
thermostat. V is volume; T is temperature. This creates a system
trajectory consistent with the canonical ensemble.</p>
<p>This fix differs from the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_nh.html"><span class="doc">fix nvt</span></a> command, which
assumes point particles and only updates their position and velocity.</p>
<p>The thermostat is applied to both the translational and rotational
degrees of freedom for the aspherical particles, assuming a compute is
used which calculates a temperature that includes the rotational
degrees of freedom (see below). The translational degrees of freedom
can also have a bias velocity removed from them before thermostatting
takes place; see the description below.</p>
<p>Additional parameters affecting the thermostat are specified by
keywords and values documented with the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_nh.html"><span class="doc">fix nvt</span></a>
command. See, for example, discussion of the <em>temp</em> and <em>drag</em>
keywords.</p>
<p>This fix computes a temperature each timestep. To do this, the fix
creates its own compute of style &#8220;temp/asphere&#8221;, as if this command
had been issued:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">compute</span> <span class="n">fix</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">ID_temp</span> <span class="n">group</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">ID</span> <span class="n">temp</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">asphere</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="compute_temp_asphere.html"><span class="doc">compute temp/asphere</span></a> command for
details. Note that the ID of the new compute is the fix-ID +
underscore + &#8220;temp&#8221;, and the group for the new compute is the same as
the fix group.</p>
<p>Note that this is NOT the compute used by thermodynamic output (see
the <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><span class="doc">thermo_style</span></a> command) with ID = <em>thermo_temp</em>.
This means you can change the attributes of this fix&#8217;s temperature
(e.g. its degrees-of-freedom) via the
<a class="reference internal" href="compute_modify.html"><span class="doc">compute_modify</span></a> command or print this temperature
during thermodynamic output via the <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><span class="doc">thermo_style custom</span></a> command using the appropriate compute-ID.
It also means that changing attributes of <em>thermo_temp</em> will have no
effect on this fix.</p>
<p>Like other fixes that perform thermostatting, this fix can be used
with <a class="reference internal" href="compute.html"><span class="doc">compute commands</span></a> that calculate a temperature
after removing a &#8220;bias&#8221; from the atom velocities. E.g. removing the
center-of-mass velocity from a group of atoms or only calculating
temperature on the x-component of velocity or only calculating
temperature for atoms in a geometric region. This is not done by
default, but only if the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><span class="doc">fix_modify</span></a> command is used
to assign a temperature compute to this fix that includes such a bias
term. See the doc pages for individual <a class="reference internal" href="compute.html"><span class="doc">compute commands</span></a> to determine which ones include a bias. In
this case, the thermostat works in the following manner: the current
temperature is calculated taking the bias into account, bias is
removed from each atom, thermostatting is performed on the remaining
thermal degrees of freedom, and the bias is added back in.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>Styles with a <em>cuda</em>, <em>gpu</em>, <em>intel</em>, <em>kk</em>, <em>omp</em>, or <em>opt</em> suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed in <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><span class="doc">Section_accelerate</span></a>
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
issues.</p>
<p>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
<p>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-7"><span class="std std-ref">-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><span class="doc">suffix</span></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><span class="doc">Section_accelerate</span></a> of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>

<div class="section" id="restart-fix-modify-output-run-start-stop-minimize-info">
<h2>Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info</h2>
<p>This fix writes the state of the Nose/Hoover thermostat to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>. See the <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><span class="doc">read_restart</span></a>
command for info on how to re-specify a fix in an input script that
reads a restart file, so that the operation of the fix continues in an
uninterrupted fashion.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><span class="doc">fix_modify</span></a> <em>temp</em> option is supported by this
fix. You can use it to assign a <a class="reference internal" href="compute.html"><span class="doc">compute</span></a> you have
defined to this fix which will be used in its thermostatting
procedure.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><span class="doc">fix_modify</span></a> <em>energy</em> option is supported by this
fix to add the energy change induced by Nose/Hoover thermostatting to
the system&#8217;s potential energy as part of <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><span class="doc">thermodynamic output</span></a>.</p>
<p>This fix computes the same global scalar and global vector of
quantities as does the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_nh.html"><span class="doc">fix nvt</span></a> command.</p>
<p>This fix can ramp its target temperature over multiple runs, using the
<em>start</em> and <em>stop</em> keywords of the <a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><span class="doc">run</span></a> command. See the
<a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><span class="doc">run</span></a> command for details of how to do this.</p>
<p>This fix is not invoked during <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><span class="doc">energy minimization</span></a>.</p>

<div class="section" id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>This fix is part of the ASPHERE package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS
was built with that package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
<p>This fix requires that atoms store torque and angular momementum and a
quaternion as defined by the <a class="reference internal" href="atom_style.html"><span class="doc">atom_style ellipsoid</span></a>
command.</p>
<p>All particles in the group must be finite-size. They cannot be point
particles, but they can be aspherical or spherical as defined by their
shape attribute.</p>
