|
<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Specify the improper force field coefficients for one or more improper
|
|
types. The number and meaning of the coefficients depends on the
|
|
improper style. Improper coefficients can also be set in the data
|
|
file read by the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command or in a restart
|
|
file.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>N can be specified in one of two ways. An explicit numeric value can
|
|
be used, as in the 1st example above. Or a wild-card asterisk can be
|
|
used to set the coefficients for multiple improper types. This takes
|
|
the form "*" or "*n" or "n*" or "m*n". If N = the number of improper
|
|
types, then an asterisk with no numeric values means all types from 1
|
|
to N. A leading asterisk means all types from 1 to n (inclusive). A
|
|
trailing asterisk means all types from n to N (inclusive). A middle
|
|
asterisk means all types from m to n (inclusive).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Note that using an improper_coeff command can override a previous
|
|
setting for the same improper type. For example, these commands set
|
|
the coeffs for all improper types, then overwrite the coeffs for just
|
|
improper type 2:

|
|
improper_coeff 2 50.0 0.0

|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>A line in a data file that specifies improper coefficients uses the
|
|
exact same format as the arguments of the improper_coeff command in an
|
|
input script, except that wild-card asterisks should not be used since
|
|
coefficients for all N types must be listed in the file. For example,
|
|
under the "Improper Coeffs" section of a data file, the line that
|
|
corresponds to the 1st example above would be listed as
|

<PRE>1 300.0 0.0

|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>The <A HREF = "improper_class2.html">improper_style class2</A> is an exception to
|
|
this rule, in that an additional argument is used in the input script
|
|
to allow specification of the cross-term coefficients. See its doc
|
|
page for details.

<P>Here is an alphabetic list of improper styles defined in LAMMPS. Click on
|
|
the style to display the formula it computes and coefficients

specified by the associated <A HREF = "improper_coeff.html">improper_coeff</A> command:
|
|
</P>

<UL><LI><A HREF = "improper_none.html">improper_style none</A> - turn off improper interactions

<LI><A HREF = "improper_hybrid.html">improper_style hybrid</A> - define multiple styles of improper interactions

<P>There are also additional improper styles submitted by users which are
|
|
included in the LAMMPS distribution. The list of these with links to

the individual styles are given in the improper section of <A HREF = "Section_commands.html#3_5">this

<P><B>Restrictions:</B>

|
|
<P>This command must come after the simulation box is defined by a

<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A>, <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A>, or
|
|
<A HREF = "create_box.html">create_box</A> command.

</P>
|
|
<P>An improper style must be defined before any improper coefficients are
|
|
set, either in the input script or in a data file.
