<P>The interpolation tables are created by fitting cubic splines to the

2010-11-18 00:26:24 +08:00
|
|
|
file values and interpolating energy and derivative values at each of
|
|

<I>N</I> angles. During a simulation, these tables are used to interpolate
|
|
|

energy and force values on individual atoms as needed. The
|
|
|
|
|
interpolation is done in one of 2 styles: <I>linear</I> or <I>spline</I>.

identifies the section. The line can contain additional text, but the

initial text must match the argument specified in the

<A HREF = "angle_coeff.html">angle_coeff</A> command. The next line lists (in any

keyword followed by one or more numeric values.

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The parameter "N" is required and its value is the number of table
|
|
|
|
|
entries that follow. Note that this may be different than the <I>N</I>
|
|
|
|
|
specified in the <A HREF = "angle_style.html">angle_style table</A> command. Let
|
|
|
|
|
Ntable = <I>N</I> in the angle_style command, and Nfile = "N" in the
|
|
|
|
|
tabulated file. What LAMMPS does is a preliminary interpolation by
|
|
|
|
|
creating splines using the Nfile tabulated values as nodal points. It
|
2010-11-18 00:26:24 +08:00
|
|
|
uses these to interpolate as needed to generate energy and derivative
|
2009-08-11 04:13:44 +08:00
|
|
|
values at Ntable different points. The resulting tables of length
|
|
|
|
|
Ntable are then used as described above, when computing energy and
|
2010-11-18 00:26:24 +08:00
|
|
|
force for individual angles and their atoms. This means that if you
|
|
|
|
|
want the interpolation tables of length Ntable to match exactly what
|
|
|
|
|
is in the tabulated file (with effectively no preliminary
|
|
|
|
|
interpolation), you should set Ntable = Nfile.

<P>The "FP" parameter is optional. If used, it is followed by two values
|
2010-11-18 00:26:24 +08:00
|
|
|
fplo and fphi, which are the 2nd derivatives at the innermost and
|
|
|
|
|
outermost angle settings. These values are needed by the spline
|
2009-08-11 04:13:44 +08:00
|
|
|
construction routines. If not specified by the "FP" parameter, they
|
2010-11-18 00:26:24 +08:00
|
|
|
are estimated (less accurately) by the first two and last two
|
|
|
|
|
derivative values in the table.
|
2009-08-11 04:13:44 +08:00

|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The "EQ" parameter is also optional. If used, it is followed by a the
|
|
|
|
|
equilibrium angle value, which is used, for example, by the <A HREF = "fix_shake.html">fix
|
|
|
|
|
shake</A> command. If not used, the equilibrium angle is
|
|
|
|
|
set to 180.0.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Following a blank line, the next N lines list the tabulated values.
|
|
|
|
|
On each line, the 1st value is the index from 1 to N, the 2nd value is
|
|
|
|
|
the angle value (in degrees), the 3rd value is the energy (in energy
|
2010-11-18 00:26:24 +08:00
|
|
|
units), and the 4th is -dE/d(theta) (also in energy units). The 3rd
|
|
|
|
|
term is the energy of the 3-atom configuration for the specified
|
|
|
|
|
angle. The last term is the derivative of the energy with respect to
|
|
|
|
|
the angle (in degrees, not radians). Thus the units of the last term
|
|
|
|
|
are still energy, not force. The angle values must increase from one
|
|
|
|
|
line to the next. The angle values must also begin with 0.0 and end
|
|
|
|
|
with 180.0, i.e. span the full range of possible angles.

|
|
<P>Note that one file can contain many sections, each with a tabulated
|
|
|
|
|
potential. LAMMPS reads the file section by section until it finds
|
|
|
|
|
one that matches the specified keyword.
