Description

"""""""""""
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the rotational kinetic energy of
|
||
|
|
a collection of rigid bodies, as defined by one of the :doc:`fix rigid <fix_rigid>` command variants.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The rotational energy of each rigid body is computed as 1/2 I Wbody^2,
|
||
|
|
where I is the inertia tensor for the rigid body, and Wbody is its
|
||
|
|
angular velocity vector. Both I and Wbody are in the frame of
|
||
|
|
reference of the rigid body, i.e. I is diagonalized.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The *fix-ID* should be the ID of one of the :doc:`fix rigid <fix_rigid>`
|
||
|
|
commands which defines the rigid bodies. The group specified in the
|
||
|
|
compute command is ignored. The rotational energy of all the rigid
|
||
|
|
bodies defined by the fix rigid command in included in the
|
||
|
|
calculation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Output info:**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This compute calculates a global scalar (the summed rotational energy
|
||
|
|
of all the rigid bodies). This value can be used by any command that
|
||
|
|
uses a global scalar value from a compute as input. See
|
||
|
|
:ref:`Section_howto 15 <howto_15>` for an overview of
|
||
|
|
LAMMPS output options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "extensive". The
|
||
|
|
scalar value will be in energy :doc:`units <units>`.

This compute is part of the RIGID package. It is only enabled if
|
||
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <start_3>` section for more info.
