<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Print a text string to the screen and logfile. The text string must
|
|
be a single argument, so it should be enclosed in double quotes if it
|
|
is more than one word. If variables are included in the string, they
|
|
will be evaluated and their current values printed.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If you want the print command to be executed multiple times (with
|
|
changing variable values), there are 3 options. First, consider using
|
|
the <A HREF = "fix_print.html">fix print</A> command, which will print a string
|
|
periodically during a simulation. Second, the print command can be
|
|
used as an argument to the <I>every</I> option of the <A HREF = "run.html">run</A>
|
|
command. Third, the print command could appear in a section of the
|
|
input script that is looped over (see the <A HREF = "jump.html">jump</A> and
|
|
<A HREF = "next.html">next</A> commands).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>See the <A HREF = "variable.html">variable</A> command for a description of <I>equal</I>
|
|
style variables which are typically the most useful ones to use with
|
|
the print command. Equal-style variables can calculate formulas
|
|
involving mathematical operations, atom properties, group properties,
|
|
thermodynamic properties, global values calculated by a
|
|
<A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> or <A HREF = "fix.html">fix</A>, or references to other
|
|
<A HREF = "variable.html">variables</A>.
