angle_style cosine/shift command :h3
[Syntax:]
angle_style cosine/shift :pre
[Examples:]
angle_style cosine/shift
angle_coeff * 10.0 45.0 :pre
[Description:]
The {cosine/shift} angle style uses the potential
:c,image(Eqs/angle_cosine_shift.jpg)
where theta0 is the equilibrium angle. The potential is bounded
between -Umin and zero. In the neighborhood of the minimum E=- Umin +
Umin/4(theta-theta0)^2 hence the spring constant is umin/2.
The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
"angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the "read_data"_read_data.html
or "read_restart"_read_restart.html commands:
umin (energy)
theta (angle) :ul
[Restrictions:]
This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
USER-MISC package. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
section for more info on packages.
