<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Enable a volume (density) change during a simulation. Each of the 3
|
|
box dimensions is controlled separately. Any dimension being varied
|
|
by this command must be periodic - see the <A HREF = "boundary.html">boundary</A>
|
|
command. Dimensions not varied by this command can be periodic or
|
|
non-periodic. The volume associated with an unspecified dimension can
|
|
also be controlled by a <A HREF = "fix_npt.html">fix npt</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The initial simulation box boundaries at the beginning of a run are
|
|
specified by the <A HREF = "create_box.html">create_box</A> or
|
|
<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> or <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> command
|
|
used to setup the simulation, or they are the values at the end of the
|
|
previous run. The desired simulation box boundaries at the end of the
|
|
run are given by the <I>lo</I> and <I>hi</I> arguments. See the
|
|
<A HREF = "units.html">units</A> command for a discussion of distance units.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Every Nth timestep during the run, the simulation box is expanded or
|
|
contracted to a ramped value between the initial and final values.
|
|
The <A HREF = "run.html">run</A> command documents how to make the ramping take
|
|
place across multiple runs. The coordinates of all atoms in the group
|
|
are also scaled to the new box size.
