<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Set each component of force on each atom in the group to the specified
|
|
values fx,fy,fz. This erases all previously computed forces on the
|
|
atom, though additional fixes could add new forces. This command can
|
|
be used to freeze certain atoms in the simulation by zeroing their
|
|
force, assuming their initial velocity zero.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Any of the fx,fy,fz values can be specified as NULL which means do not
|
|
alter the force component in that dimension.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The forces due to this fix are also imposed during an energy
|
|
minimization, invoked by the <A HREF = "minimize.html">minimize</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The total force on the group of atoms before it is reset is stored by
|
|
the fix and its components can be accessed during thermodynamic
|
|
print-out by using f_ID[N] where ID = he fix-ID and N = 1,2,3. See
|
|
the <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style custom</A> command for details. Note
|
|
that the fix stores the total force on the group of atoms, but the
|
|
printed value may be normalized by the total number of atoms in the
|
|
simulation depending on the <A HREF = "thermo_modify.html">thermo_modify norm</A>
|
|
option you are using.
