angular velocity for extended spherical particles in the group each

<P>This fix differs from the <A HREF = "fix_nve.html">fix nve</A> command, which
|
|
|
|
|
assumes point particles and only updates their position and velocity.
|
|
|
|

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>If the <I>update</I> keyword is used with the <I>dipole</I> value, then the
|
|
|
|
|
orientation of the dipole moment of each particle is also updated
|
|
|
|
|
during the time integration. This option should be used for models
|
|
|
|
|
where a dipole moment is assigned to particles via the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "dipole.html">dipole</A> command.

<P>This fix requires that particles be represented as extended spheres
|
|
|
|
|
and not point particles. This means they will have an angular
|
|
|
|
|
velocity and a diameter which is determined either by the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "shape.html">shape</A> command or by each particle being assigned an
|
|
|
|
|
individual radius, e.g. for <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style granular</A>.
