<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Apply an additional external force to a group of atoms in such a way
|
|
that every atom experiences the same force. This is useful for
|
|
pushing on wall or boundary atoms so that the structure of the wall
|
|
does not change over time.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The existing force is averaged for the group of atoms, component by
|
|
component. The actual force on each atom is then set to the average
|
|
value plus the component specified in this command. This means each
|
|
atom in the group receives the same force.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If any of the arguments is specified as NULL then the forces in that
|
|
dimension are not changed. Note that this is not the same as
|
|
specifying a 0.0 value, since that sets all forces to the same average
|
|
value without adding in any additional force.
|

<P>No information about this fix is written to <A HREF = "restart.html">binary restart
|
|
files</A>. None of the <A HREF = "fix_modify.html">fix_modify</A> options
|
|
are relevant to this fix.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This fix computes a 3-vector of forces, which can be accessed by
|
|
various <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">output commands</A>. This is the total
|
|
force on the group of atoms before the forces on individual atoms are
|
|
changed by the fix. The vector values calculated by this fix are
|
|
"extensive", meaning they scale with the number of atoms in the
|
|
simulation.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>No parameter of this fix can be used with the <I>start/stop</I> keywords of
|
|
the <A HREF = "run.html">run</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The forces due to this fix are imposed during an energy minimization,
|
|
invoked by the <A HREF = "minimize.html">minimize</A> command.
