fix colvars command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
fix ID group-ID colvars configfile keyword values ... :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "fix"_fix.html command :ulb,l
|
|
colvars = style name of this fix command :l
|
|
configfile = the configuration file for the colvars module :l
|
|
keyword = {input} or {output} or {seed} or {tstat} :l
|
|
{input} arg = colvars.state file name or prefix or NULL (default: NULL)
|
|
{output} arg = output filename prefix (default: out)
|
|
{seed} arg = seed for random number generator (default: 1966)
|
|
{tstat} arg = fix id of a thermostat or NULL (default: NULL) :pre
|
|
:ule
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
fix colvars peptide peptide.colvars.inp seed 2122 input peptide.colvars.state output peptide
|
|
fix colvars all colvars.inp :pre
|

|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
This fix interfaces LAMMPS to a "collective variables" or "colvars"
|
|
module library which allows to calculate potentials of mean force
|
|
(PMFs) for any set of colvars, using different sampling methods:
|
|
currently implemented are the Adaptive Biasing Force (ABF) method,
|
|
metadynamics, Steered Molecular Dynamics (SMD) and Umbrella Sampling
|
|
(US) via a flexible harmonic restraint bias. This documentation
|
|
describes only the colvars fix itself and LAMMPS specific parts of the
|
|
code. The documentation of the colvars implementation itself is
|
|
available as part of the "NAMD online
|
|
documentation"_http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/2.8/ug/node53.html
|
|
|
|
There are example scripts for using this package with LAMMPS in
|
|
examples/USER/colvars.
|
|
|
|
The implementation of the portable collective variable library is also
|
|
documented in "(Henin)"_#Henin
|
|
|
|
:line
|
|
|
|
The only mandatory argument to the fix is the filename to the colvars
|
|
input file that contains all input that is independent from the MD
|
|
program in which the colvars library has been integrated.
|
|
|
|
The {group-ID} entry is ignored. The collective variable module will
|
|
always apply to the entire system, i.e. use the group {all}.
|
|
|
|
The {input} keyword allows to specify a state file that would contain
|
|
the information required in order to continue a calculation, e.g.
|
|
from a restart. Setting it to NULL will start a new colvars run.
|
|
|
|
The {output} keyword allows to specify the output prefix. All output
|
|
files generated will use this prefix followed by the ".colvars." and
|
|
a word like "state" or "traj".
|
|
|
|
The {seed} keyword contains the seed for the random number generator
|
|
that will be used in the colvars module.
|
|
|
|
The {tstat} keyword can be either NULL or the label of a thermostating
|
|
fix that thermostats all atoms in the fix colvars group. This will be
|
|
used to provide the colvars module with the current thermostat target
|
|
temperature.
|
|
|
|
[Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:]
|
|
|
|
No information about this fix is written to "binary restart
|
|
files"_restart.html.
|
|
|
|
The "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {energy} option is supported by this
|
|
fix to add the energy change from the biasing force added by the fix
|
|
to the system's potential energy as part of "thermodynamic
|
|
output"_thermo_style.html.
|
|
|
|
This fix computes a global scalar which can be accessed by various
|
|
"output commands"_Section_howto.html#howto_15. The scalar is the
|
|
cummulative energy change due to this fix. The scalar value
|
|
calculated by this fix is "extensive".
|
|
|
|
[Restrictions:]
|
|
|
|
This fix is part of the USER-COLVARS package. It is only enabled if
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
|
|
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
|
|
|
|
There can only be one colvars fix active at a time. Since the
|
|
colvars module itself can handle an arbitrary number of collective
|
|
variables and always applies to the entire system, this is not
|
|
really a deficit in practice.

|
[Default:]
|
|
|
|
The default options are input = NULL, output = out, seed = 1966, and
|
|
tstat = NULL.
