<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Reset the timestep size every N steps during a run, so that no atom
|
|
moves further than Xmax, based on current atom velocities and forces.
|
|
This can be useful when starting from a configuration with overlapping
|
|
atoms, where forces will be large. Or it can be useful when running
|
|
an impact simulation where one or more high-energy atoms collide with
|
|
a solid, causing a damage cascade.</p>
|
|
<p>This fix overrides the timestep size setting made by the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="timestep.html"><em>timestep</em></a> command. The new timestep size <em>dt</em> is
|
|
computed in the following manner.</p>
|
|
<p>For each atom, the timestep is computed that would cause it to
|
|
displace <em>Xmax</em> on the next integration step, as a function of its
|
|
current velocity and force. Since performing this calculation exactly
|
|
would require the solution to a quartic equation, a cheaper estimate
|
|
is generated. The estimate is conservative in that the atom’s
|
|
displacement is guaranteed not to exceed <em>Xmax</em>, though it may be
|
|
smaller.</p>
|
|
<p>Given this putative timestep for each atom, the minimum timestep value
|
|
across all atoms is computed. Then the <em>Tmin</em> and <em>Tmax</em> bounds are
|
|
applied, if specified. If one (or both) is specified as NULL, it is
|
|
not applied.</p>
|
|
<p>When the <a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><em>run style</em></a> is <em>respa</em>, this fix resets the
|
|
outer loop (largest) timestep, which is the same timestep that the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="timestep.html"><em>timestep</em></a> command sets.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that the cumulative simulation time (in time units), which
|
|
accounts for changes in the timestep size as a simulation proceeds,
|
|
can be accessed by the <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><em>thermo_style time</em></a> keyword.</p>

<p>No information about this fix is written to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><em>binary restart files</em></a>. None of the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><em>fix_modify</em></a> options
|
|
are relevant to this fix.</p>
|
|
<p>This fix computes a global scalar which can be accessed by various
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span>output commands</span></a>. The scalar stores
|
|
the last timestep on which the timestep was reset to a new value.</p>
