<H3>compute variable command

<P><B>Syntax:</B>

</P>
|
|
<PRE>compute ID group-ID variable name
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<UL><LI>ID, group-ID are documented in <A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> command
|
|
<LI>variable/atom = style name of this compute command
|
|
<LI>name = variable name to invoke to compute a scalar quantity

<PRE>compute 1 all variable myTemp

<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Define a computation that calculates a formula that returns a scalar
|
|
quantity. This quantity can be time averaged and output via the <A HREF = "fix_ave_time.html">fix
|
|
ave/time</A> command. It could also be output via the
|
|
<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style custom</A> command, although it makes
|
|
more sense to access the variable directly in this case.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The formula is defined by the <A HREF = "variable.html">variable equal</A> command.
|
|
A variable of style <I>equal</I> can access properties of the system, such
|
|
as volume or temperature, and also reference individual atom
|
|
attributes, such as its coordinates or velocity.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>For example, these 3 commands would time average the system density
|
|
(assuming the volume fluctuates) temperature and output the average
|
|
value periodically to the file den.profile:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>variable den equal div(atoms,vol)
|
|
compute density all variable den
|
|
fix 1 all ave/time 1 1000 density 0 den.profile
