The *gauss/cut* style is part of the "user-misc" package. It is only
enabled if LAMMPS is build with that package. See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc page for more info.
The *gauss/cut* style is part of the USER-MISC package. It is only
enabled if LAMMPS is build with that package. See the :doc:`Build
package <Build_package>` doc page for more info.
The *gauss* style does not apply :doc:`special_bonds <special_bonds>`
factors. When using this pair style on a system that has bonds, the
special_bonds factors, if using the default setting of 0.0, may need to
be adjusted to some very small number (e.g. 1.0e-100), so that those
special pairs are not completely excluded from the neighbor lists, but
won't contribute forces or energies from styles (e.g. when used in
combination with a :doc:`hybrid pair style <pair_hybrid>` that do apply
those factors.
