Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Apply bond and angle constraints to specified bonds and angles in the
|
|
simulation by either the SHAKE or RATTLE algorithms. This typically
|
|
enables a longer timestep.
|
|
|
|
**SHAKE vs RATTLE:**
|
|
|
|
The SHAKE algorithm was invented for schemes such as standard Verlet
|
|
timesteppnig, where only the coordinates are integrated and the
|
|
velocities are approximated as finite differences to the trajectories
|
|
(:ref:`Ryckaert et al. (1977) <Ryckaert>`). If the velocities are
|
|
integrated explicitly, as with velocity Verlet which is what LAMMPS
|
|
uses as an integration method, a second set of constraining forces is
|
|
required in order to eliminate velocity components along the bonds
|
|
(:ref:`Andersen (1983) <Andersen>`).
|
|
|
|
In order to formulate individual constraints for SHAKE and RATTLE,
|
|
focus on a single molecule whose bonds are constrained. Let Ri and Vi
|
|
be the position and velocity of atom *i* at time *n*, for
|
|
*i*=1,...,*N*, where *N* is the number of sites of our reference
|
|
molecule. The distance vector between sites *i* and *j* is given by
|
|
|
|
.. image:: Eqs/fix_rattle_rij.jpg
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
The constraints can then be formulated as
|
|
|
|
.. image:: Eqs/fix_rattle_constraints.jpg
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
The SHAKE algorithm satisfies the first condition, i.e. the sites at
|
|
time *n+1* will have the desired separations Dij immediately after the
|
|
coordinates are integrated. If we also enforce the second condition,
|
|
the velocity components along the bonds will vanish. RATTLE satisfies
|
|
both conditions. As implemented in LAMMPS, fix rattle uses fix shake
|
|
for satisfying the coordinate constraints. Therefore the settings and
|
|
optional keywords are the same for both fixes, and all the information
|
|
below about SHAKE is also relevant for RATTLE.
|
|
|
|
**SHAKE:**
|
|
|
|
Each timestep the specified bonds and angles are reset to their
|
|
equilibrium lengths and angular values via the SHAKE algorithm
|
|
(:ref:`Ryckaert et al. (1977) <Ryckaert>`). This is done by applying an
|
|
additional constraint force so that the new positions preserve the
|
|
desired atom separations. The equations for the additional force are
|
|
solved via an iterative method that typically converges to an accurate
|
|
solution in a few iterations. The desired tolerance (e.g. 1.0e-4 = 1
|
|
part in 10000) and maximum # of iterations are specified as arguments.
|
|
Setting the N argument will print statistics to the screen and log
|
|
file about regarding the lengths of bonds and angles that are being
|
|
constrained. Small delta values mean SHAKE is doing a good job.
|
|
|
|
In LAMMPS, only small clusters of atoms can be constrained. This is
|
|
so the constraint calculation for a cluster can be performed by a
|
|
single processor, to enable good parallel performance. A cluster is
|
|
defined as a central atom connected to others in the cluster by
|
|
constrained bonds. LAMMPS allows for the following kinds of clusters
|
|
to be constrained: one central atom bonded to 1 or 2 or 3 atoms, or
|
|
one central atom bonded to 2 others and the angle between the 3 atoms
|
|
also constrained. This means water molecules or CH2 or CH3 groups may
|
|
be constrained, but not all the C-C backbone bonds of a long polymer
|
|
chain.
|
|
|
|
The *b* constraint lists bond types that will be constrained. The *t*
|
|
constraint lists atom types. All bonds connected to an atom of the
|
|
specified type will be constrained. The *m* constraint lists atom
|
|
masses. All bonds connected to atoms of the specified masses will be
|
|
constrained (within a fudge factor of MASSDELTA specified in
|
|
fix_shake.cpp). The *a* constraint lists angle types. If both bonds
|
|
in the angle are constrained then the angle will also be constrained
|
|
if its type is in the list.
|
|
|
|
For all constraints, a particular bond is only constrained if both
|
|
atoms in the bond are in the group specified with the SHAKE fix.
|
|
|
|
The degrees-of-freedom removed by SHAKE bonds and angles are accounted
|
|
for in temperature and pressure computations. Similarly, the SHAKE
|
|
contribution to the pressure of the system (virial) is also accounted
|
|
for.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This command works by using the current forces on atoms to
|
|
caculate an additional constraint force which when added will leave
|
|
the atoms in positions that satisfy the SHAKE constraints (e.g. bond
|
|
length) after the next time integration step. If you define fixes
|
|
(e.g. :doc:`fix efield <fix_efield>`) that add additional force to the
|
|
atoms after fix shake operates, then this fix will not take them into
|
|
account and the time integration will typically not satisfy the SHAKE
|
|
constraints. The solution for this is to make sure that fix shake is
|
|
defined in your input script after any other fixes which add or change
|
|
forces (to atoms that fix shake operates on).
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *mol* keyword should be used when other commands, such as :doc:`fix deposit <fix_deposit>` or :doc:`fix pour <fix_pour>`, add molecules
|
|
on-the-fly during a simulation, and you wish to contrain the new
|
|
molecules via SHAKE. You specify a *template-ID* previously defined
|
|
using the :doc:`molecule <molecule>` command, which reads a file that
|
|
defines the molecule. You must use the same *template-ID* that the
|
|
command adding molecules uses. The coordinates, atom types, special
|
|
bond restrictions, and SHAKE info can be specified in the molecule
|
|
file. See the :doc:`molecule <molecule>` command for details. The only
|
|
settings required to be in this file (by this command) are the SHAKE
|
|
info of atoms in the molecule.
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Styles with a *cuda* suffix are functionally the same as the
|
|
corresponding style without the suffix. They have been optimized to
|
|
run faster, depending on your available hardware, as discussed in
|
|
:doc:`Section_accelerate <Section_accelerate>` of the manual. The
|
|
accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the same
|
|
results, except for round-off and precision issues.
|
|
|
|
These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA package. They are
|
|
only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <start_3>` section for more info.
|
|
|
|
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the :ref:`-suffix command-line switch <start_7>` when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
use the :doc:`suffix <suffix>` command in your input script.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`Section_accelerate <Section_accelerate>` of the manual for
|
|
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
**RATTLE:**
|
|
|
|
The velocity constraints lead to a linear system of equations which
|
|
can be solved analytically. The implementation of the algorithm in
|
|
LAMMPS closely follows (:ref:`Andersen (1983) <Andersen>`).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The fix rattle command modifies forces and velocities and thus
|
|
should be defined after all other integration fixes in your input
|
|
script. If you define other fixes that modify velocities or forces
|
|
after fix rattle operates, then fix rattle will not take them into
|
|
account and the overall time integration will typically not satisfy
|
|
the RATTLE constraints. You can check whether the constraints work
|
|
correctly by setting the value of RATTLE_DEBUG in src/fix_rattle.cpp
|
|
to 1 and recompiling LAMMPS.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
No information about these fixes is written to :doc:`binary restart files <restart>`. None of the :doc:`fix_modify <fix_modify>` options
|
|
are relevant to these fixes. No global or per-atom quantities are
|
|
stored by these fixes for access by various :ref:`output commands <howto_15>`. No parameter of these fixes
|
|
can be used with the *start/stop* keywords of the :doc:`run <run>`
|
|
command. These fixes are not invoked during :doc:`energy minimization <minimize>`.
|
|
|
|
Restrictions
|
|
""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
|
|
These fixes are part of the RIGID package. They are only enabled if
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <start_3>` section for more info.
|
|
|
|
For computational efficiency, there can only be one shake or rattle
|
|
fix defined in a simulation.
|
|
|
|
If you use a tolerance that is too large or a max-iteration count that
|
|
is too small, the constraints will not be enforced very strongly,
|
|
which can lead to poor energy conservation. You can test for this in
|
|
your system by running a constant NVE simulation with a particular set
|
|
of SHAKE parameters and monitoring the energy versus time.
|
|
|
|
SHAKE or RATTLE should not be used to contrain an angle at 180 degrees
|
|
(e.g. linear CO2 molecule). This causes numeric difficulties.
