<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Apply an additional external force to a group of atoms in such a way
|
|
that every atom experiences the same force. This is useful for
|
|
pushing on wall or boundary atoms so that the structure of the wall
|
|
does not change over time.</p>
|
|
<p>The existing force is averaged for the group of atoms, component by
|
|
component. The actual force on each atom is then set to the average
|
|
value plus the component specified in this command. This means each
|
|
atom in the group receives the same force.</p>
|
|
<p>Any of the fx,fy,fz values can be specified as NULL which means the
|
|
force in that dimension is not changed. Note that this is not the
|
|
same as specifying a 0.0 value, since that sets all forces to the same
|
|
average value without adding in any additional force.</p>
|
|
<p>Any of the 3 quantities defining the force components can be specified
|
|
as an equal-style <a class="reference internal" href="variable.html"><em>variable</em></a>, namely <em>fx</em>, <em>fy</em>, <em>fz</em>.
|
|
If the value is a variable, it should be specified as v_name, where
|
|
name is the variable name. In this case, the variable will be
|
|
evaluated each timestep, and its value used to determine the average
|
|
force.</p>
|
|
<p>Equal-style variables can specify formulas with various mathematical
|
|
functions, and include <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><em>thermo_style</em></a> command
|
|
keywords for the simulation box parameters and timestep and elapsed
|
|
time. Thus it is easy to specify a time-dependent average force.</p>
|
|
<p>If the <em>region</em> keyword is used, the atom must also be in the
|
|
specified geometric <a class="reference internal" href="region.html"><em>region</em></a> in order to have force added
|
|
to it.</p>
|
|
<hr class="docutils" />
|
|
<p>Styles with a <em>cuda</em> 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
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></a> of the manual. The
|
|
accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the same
|
|
results, except for round-off and precision issues.</p>
|
|
<p>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA package. They are
|
|
only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
|
|
<p>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-7"><span>-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><em>suffix</em></a> command in your input script.</p>
|
|
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></a> of the manual for
|
|
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>

<h2>Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info<a class="headerlink" href="#restart-fix-modify-output-run-start-stop-minimize-info" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<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 3-vector of forces, which can be accessed
|
|
by various <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span>output commands</span></a>. This is the
|
|
total force on the group of atoms before the forces on individual
|
|
atoms are changed by the fix. The vector values calculated by this
|
|
fix are “extensive”.</p>
|
|
<p>No parameter of this fix can be used with the <em>start/stop</em> keywords of
|
|
the <a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><em>run</em></a> command.</p>
|
|
<p>The forces due to this fix are imposed during an energy minimization,
|
|
invoked by the <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><em>minimize</em></a> command. You should not
|
|
specify force components with a variable that has time-dependence for
|
|
use with a minimizer, since the minimizer increments the timestep as
|
|
the iteration count during the minimization.</p>
