|
|
|
|
|
<P>This command is used with variables defined by the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "variable.html">variable</A> command. It assigns the next value to the
|
2006-09-28 03:12:31 +08:00
|
|
|
variable from the variable's list, so that when a variable is
|
|
|
|
|
subsequently substituted for in an input script command, the new value
|
|
|
|
|
is used. If a variable name is a single lower-case character from "a"
|
|
|
|
|
to "z", it can be used in an input script command as $a or $z. If it
|
|
|
|
|
is multiple letters, it can be used as $<I>myTemp</I>.

|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>All variables in a single next command must be the same style:
|
2006-12-20 00:44:20 +08:00
|
|
|
<I>index</I>, <I>loop</I>, <I>universe</I>, or <I>uloop</I>. <I>Equal</I>- or <I>world</I>-style
|
|
|
|
|
variables cannot be incremented by a next command.
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>When any of the variables in the next command has no more values, a
|
|
|
|
|
flag is set that causes the input script to skip the next
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "jump.html">jump</A> command encountered. This enables a loop containing
|
|
|
|
|
a next command to exit.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>When the next command is used with <I>index</I>- or <I>loop</I>-style variables,
|
|
|
|
|
the next value is assigned to the variable for all processors. When
|
2006-12-20 00:44:20 +08:00
|
|
|
the next command is used with <I>universe</I>- or <I>uloop</I>-style variables,
|
|
|
|
|
the next value is assigned to whichever processor partition executes
|
|
|
|
|
the command first. All processors in the partition are assigned the
|
|
|
|
|
same value. Running LAMMPS on multiple partitions of processors via

the "-partition" command-line switch is described in <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_6">this
|
2006-12-20 00:44:20 +08:00
|
|
|
section</A> of the manual. <I>Universe</I>- and
|
|
|
|
|
<I>uloop</I>-style variables are incremented using the files
|
|
|
|
|
"tmp.lammps.variable" and "tmp.lammps.variable.lock" which you will

|

see in your directory during such a LAMMPS run.

<P>Here is an example of running a series of simulations using the next
|
|
|
|
|
command with an <I>index</I>-style variable. If this input script is named
|
|
|
|
|
in.polymer, 8 simulations would be run using data files from

directories run1 thru run8.

<P>If the variable "d" were of style <I>universe</I>, and the same in.polymer

|

input script were run on 3 partitions of processors, then the first 3
|
|
|
|

simulations would begin, one on each set of processors. Whichever

|
|

partition finished first, it would assign variable "d" the 4th value

and run another simulation, and so forth until all 8 simulations were

finished.

</P>
|

<P>Jump and next commands can also be nested to enable multi-level loops.

For example, this script will run 15 simulations in a double loop.
