<P>(3) The line is searched repeatedly for $ characters which indicate
variables that are replaced with text. If the $ is followed by curly
brackets, then the variable name is the text inside the curly

<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>This command assigns one or more values to a variable name so that the
variable can be used in subsequent input script commands or its value
output during a simulation. The "name" of the variable is an
arbitrary string. Each "value" is a string which could be text or
numbers, as in the examples above.
<P>This command assigns one or more strings to a variable name.
Variables can be used in several ways in LAMMPS. A variable can be
referenced elsewhere in an input script. For variable styles that
store multiple strings, the <A HREF = "next.html">next</A> command can be used to
increment which string is assigned to the variable. Variables can be
evaluated to produce a numeric value which can be output either
directly (see the <A HREF = "print.html">print</A>, <A HREF = "fix_print.html">fix print</A>, and
<A HREF = "run.html">run every</A> commands) or as part of thermodynamic output (see
the <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command), fix output (see the
<A HREF = "fix_ave_spatial.html">fix ave/spatial</A> and <A HREF = "compute_variable_atom.html">compute
variable/atom</A> commands), or dump output
(see the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A> and <A HREF = "compute_variable_atom.html">compute
variable/atom</A> commands).
</P>
<P>As explained in <A HREF = "Section_commands.html#3_2">this section</A>, occurrences
of the variable name in an input script line are replaced by the
variable's value. The variable name can be referenced in the input
script as $x if the name "x" is a single character, or as ${LoopVar}
if the name "LoopVar" is one or more characters.
<P>In the discussion that follows, the "name" of the variable is the
arbitrary string that is the 1st argument in the variable command.
The "string" is one of the subsequent arguments. The "value" is the
numeric quantity resulting from evaluation of the string. Note that
the same string can generate different values when it is evaluated at
different times during a simulation.
</P>
<P>Variable values can also be accessed for output once or periodically
during a simulation by the <A HREF = "print.html">print</A> command, <A HREF = "fix_print.html">fix
print</A> command, <A HREF = "run.html">run every</A> command, and the
<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command.
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: When a variable command is encountered in the input
script and the variable name has already been specified, the command
is ignored. This means variables can NOT be re-defined in an input
script. This is to allow an input script with variable commands to be
processed multiple times without resetting the variables; see the
<A HREF = "jump.html">jump</A> or <A HREF = "include.html">include</A> commands. It also means
that using a command-line switch -var will override a corresponding
variable setting in the input script.
</P>
<P>There is one exception to this rule. As described below, if a
variable is iterated on to the end of its list of strings via the
<A HREF = "next.html">next</A> command, it is available to be re-defined in a
subsequent variable command.

[Description:]
This command assigns one or more values to a variable name so that the
variable can be used in subsequent input script commands or its value
output during a simulation. The "name" of the variable is an
arbitrary string. Each "value" is a string which could be text or
numbers, as in the examples above.
This command assigns one or more strings to a variable name.
Variables can be used in several ways in LAMMPS. A variable can be
referenced elsewhere in an input script. For variable styles that
store multiple strings, the "next"_next.html command can be used to
increment which string is assigned to the variable. Variables can be
evaluated to produce a numeric value which can be output either
directly (see the "print"_print.html, "fix print"_fix_print.html, and
"run every"_run.html commands) or as part of thermodynamic output (see
the "thermo_style"_thermo_style.html command), fix output (see the
"fix ave/spatial"_fix_ave_spatial.html and "compute
variable/atom"_compute_variable_atom.html commands), or dump output
(see the "dump custom"_dump.html and "compute
variable/atom"_compute_variable_atom.html commands).
As explained in "this section"_Section_commands.html#3_2, occurrences
of the variable name in an input script line are replaced by the
variable's value. The variable name can be referenced in the input
script as $x if the name "x" is a single character, or as $\{LoopVar\}
if the name "LoopVar" is one or more characters.
In the discussion that follows, the "name" of the variable is the
arbitrary string that is the 1st argument in the variable command.
The "string" is one of the subsequent arguments. The "value" is the
numeric quantity resulting from evaluation of the string. Note that
the same string can generate different values when it is evaluated at
different times during a simulation.
Variable values can also be accessed for output once or periodically
during a simulation by the "print"_print.html command, "fix
print"_fix_print.html command, "run every"_run.html command, and the
"thermo_style"_thermo_style.html command.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When a variable command is encountered in the input
script and the variable name has already been specified, the command
is ignored. This means variables can NOT be re-defined in an input
script. This is to allow an input script with variable commands to be
processed multiple times without resetting the variables; see the
"jump"_jump.html or "include"_include.html commands. It also means
that using a command-line switch -var will override a corresponding
variable setting in the input script.
There is one exception to this rule. As described below, if a
variable is iterated on to the end of its list of strings via the
"next"_next.html command, it is available to be re-defined in a
subsequent variable command.

For the {equal} style, a single string is specified which represents
an equation that will be evaluated afresh each time the variable is
used. Thus the variable can take on different values at different
stages of the input script. For example, if the variable is used in a
"fix print"_fix_print.html command, different values could be printed
each timestep it was invoked. The next command cannot be used with

Gyration() computes the radius-of-gyration of the group of atoms. See
the "fix gyration"_fix_gyration.html command for the formula.
The atom vectors take a single integer argument from 1-N, which
is the desired atom-ID, e.g. x\[243\].
For {equal} style variables, atom vectors take a single integer
argument from 1-N, which is the desired atom-ID, e.g. x\[243\]. For
{atom} style variables, atom vectors take no argument. Since {atom}
style variables compute one value per atom, a reference like x\[\]
means the x-coord of each atom will be used when evaluating the
variable.
Compute references access allow access to scalar or vector quantities
calculated by a compute. The ID in the reference should be replaced
by the actual ID of the compute that has been defined elsewhere in the
input script. See the "compute"_compute.html command for details.
Note that per-atom quantities calcalated by a compute cannot be
accessed this way, but only global scalar or vector quantities.
Compute references access scalar or vector quantities calculated by a

If {c_ID\[0\]} is used as a keyword, then the scalar quantity
calculated by the compute is printed. If {c_ID\[N\]} is used, then N

calculated by the compute.

vector calculated by the compute.
The current values of other variables can be accessed by prepending a
"v_" to the variable name. This will cause the other variable to be
