<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: These options apply to the currently defined thermo

2007-06-25 22:36:36 +08:00

style. When you specify a <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command,
|
|
|
|
|
all thermodynamic settings are restored to their default values,
|
2009-03-19 02:15:38 +08:00
|
|
|
including those previously reset by a thermo_modify command. Thus if
|
2007-06-25 22:36:36 +08:00
|
|
|
your input script specifies a thermo_style command, you should use the
|
|
|
|
|
thermo_modify command after it.

<P>The <I>lost</I> keyword determines whether LAMMPS checks for lost atoms
|
|
|
|
|
each time it computes thermodynamics and what it does if atoms are
|
|
|
|
|
lost. If the value is <I>ignore</I>, LAMMPS does not check for lost atoms.
|
|
|
|
|
If the value is <I>error</I> or <I>warn</I>, LAMMPS checks and either issues an
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
error or warning. The code will exit with an error and continue with
|
|
|
|
|
a warning. This can be a useful debugging option.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
2009-01-06 07:48:45 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>The <I>norm</I> keyword determines whether various thermodynamic output
|
|
|
|
|
values are normalized by the number of atoms or not, depending on
|
|
|
|
|
whether it is set to <I>yes</I> or <I>no</I>. Different unit styles have
|
|
|
|
|
different defaults for this setting (see below). Even if <I>norm</I> is
|
|
|
|
|
set to <I>yes</I>, a value is only normalized if it is an "extensive"
|
|
|
|
|
quantity, meaning that it scales with the number of atoms in the
|
|
|
|
|
system. For the thermo keywords described by the doc page for the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command, all energy-related keywords
|
|
|
|
|
are extensive, such as <I>pe</I> or <I>ebond</I> or <I>enthalpy</I>. Other keywords
|
|
|
|
|
such as <I>temp</I> or <I>press</I> are "intensive" meaning their value is
|
|
|
|
|
independent (in a statistical sense) of the number of atoms in the
|
|
|
|
|
system and thus are never normalized. For thermodynamic output values
|
|
|
|
|
extracted from fixes and computes in a <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style
|
|
|
|
|
custom</A> command, the doc page for the individual
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "fix.html">fix</A> or <A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> lists whether the value is
|
|
|
|
|
"extensive" or "intensive" and thus whether it is normalized.
|
|
|
|
|
Thermodynamic output values calculated by a variable formula are
|
|
|
|
|
assumed to be "intensive" and thus are never normalized. You can
|
|
|
|
|
always include a divide by the number of atoms in the variable formula
|
|
|
|
|
if this is not the case.

</P>

2007-02-10 05:37:30 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>The <I>flush</I> keyword invokes a flush operation after thermodynamic info
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
is written to the log file. This insures the output in that file is
|
|
|
|
|
current (no buffering by the OS), even if LAMMPS halts before the
|
|
|
|
|
simulation completes.

2007-02-10 05:37:30 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>The <I>line</I> keyword determines whether thermodynamics will be printed
|
|
|
|
|
as a series of numeric values on one line or in a multi-line format
|
|
|
|
|
with 3 quantities with text strings per line and a dashed-line header
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
containing the timestep and CPU time. This modify option overrides
|
|
|
|
|
the <I>one</I> and <I>multi</I> thermo_style settings.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
2007-02-10 05:37:30 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>The <I>format</I> keyword sets the numeric format of individual printed
|
2007-04-07 02:03:05 +08:00
|
|
|
quantities. The <I>int</I> and <I>float</I> keywords set the format for all
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
integer or floating-point quantities printed. The setting with a
|
2007-04-07 02:03:05 +08:00
|
|
|
numeric value (e.g. format 5 %10.4g) sets the format of the Mth value
|
|
|
|
|
printed in each output line, the 5th column of output in this case.
|
|
|
|
|
If the format for a specific column has been set, it will take
|
|
|
|
|
precedent over the <I>int</I> or <I>float</I> setting.

2007-02-10 05:37:30 +08:00

<P>The <I>temp</I> keyword is used to determine how thermodynamic temperature
|
|
|
|
|
is calculated, which is used by all thermo quantities that require a
|
2008-02-13 22:59:22 +08:00
|
|
|
temperature ("temp", "press", "ke", "etotal", "enthalpy", "pxx", etc).
|
|

The specified compute ID must have been previously defined by the user
|
|
|
|
|
via the <A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> command and it must be a style of
|
|
|
|
|
compute that calculates a temperature. As described in the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command, thermo output uses a default
|
|
|
|
|
compute for temperature with ID = <I>thermo_temp</I>. This option allows
|
|
|
|
|
the user to override the default.

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The <I>press</I> keyword is used to determine how thermodynamic pressure is
|
|
|
|
|
calculated, which is used by all thermo quantities that require a
|
2008-02-13 22:59:22 +08:00
|
|
|
pressure ("press", "enthalpy", "pxx", etc). The specified compute ID
|
|
|
|
|
must have been previously defined by the user via the
|
2007-02-10 05:37:30 +08:00
|
|
|
<A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> command and it must be a style of compute that
|
|

calculates a pressure. As described in the

<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command, thermo output uses a default

<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: If both the <I>temp</I> and <I>press</I> keywords are used in a
|
2008-03-12 00:37:01 +08:00
|
|
|
single thermo_modify command (or in two separate commands), then the
|
|
|
|
|
order in which the keywords are specified is important. Note that a
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "compute_pressure.html">pressure compute</A> defines its own temperature
|
|
|
|
|
compute as an argument when it is specified. The <I>temp</I> keyword will
|
|
|
|
|
override this (for the pressure compute being used by thermodynamics),
|
|
|
|
|
but only if the <I>temp</I> keyword comes after the <I>press</I> keyword. If
|
|
|
|
|
the <I>temp</I> keyword comes before the <I>press</I> keyword, then the new
|
|
|
|
|
pressure compute specified by the <I>press</I> keyword will be unaffected
|
|
|
|
|
by the <I>temp</I> setting.
