improper_coeff command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
improper_coeff N args :pre
|
|
|
|
N = improper type (see asterisk form below)
|
|
args = coefficients for one or more improper types :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
improper_coeff 1 300.0 0.0
|
|
improper_coeff * 80.2 -1 2
|
|
improper_coeff *4 80.2 -1 2 :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
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 "read_data"_read_data.html command or in a restart
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
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 * 300.0 0.0
|
|
improper_coeff 2 50.0 0.0 :pre
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
1 300.0 0.0 :pre
|
|
|
|
The "improper_style class2"_improper_class2.html 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.

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 "improper_coeff"_improper_coeff.html command:
|
|
|
|
"improper_style none"_improper_none.html - turn off improper interactions
|
|
"improper_style hybrid"_improper_hybrid.html - define multiple styles of improper interactions :ul
|
|
|
|
"improper_style class2"_improper_class2.html - COMPASS (class 2) improper
|
|
"improper_style cvff"_improper_cvff.html - CVFF improper
|
|
"improper_style harmonic"_improper_harmonic.html - harmonic improper
|
|
"improper_style umbrella"_improper_umbrella.html - DREIDING improper :ul
|
|
|
|
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 "this
|
|
page"_Section_commands.html#cmd_5.
|

|
|
|
|
[Restrictions:]
|
|
|
|
This command must come after the simulation box is defined by a
|
|
"read_data"_read_data.html, "read_restart"_read_restart.html, or
|
|
"create_box"_create_box.html command.
|
|
|
|
An improper style must be defined before any improper coefficients are
|
|
set, either in the input script or in a data file.
