shape command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
mass I x y z :pre
|
|
|
|
I = atom type (see asterisk form below)
|
|
x = x diameter
|
|
y = y diameter
|
|
z = z diameter :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
shape 1 1.0 1.0 1.0
|
|
shape * 3.0 1.0 1.0
|
|
shape 2* 3.0 1.0 1.0 :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Set the shape for all atoms of one or more atom types. Shape values
|
|
can also be set in the "read_data"_read_data.html data file. See the
|
|
"units"_units.html command for what distance units to use.
|
|
|
|
Currently, only "atom_style dipole"_atom_style.html and "atom_style
|
|
ellipsoid"_atom_style.html require that shapes be set.
|
|
|
|
Dipoles use the atom shape to compute a moment of inertia for
|
|
rotational energy. Only the 1st component of the shape is used since
|
|
the particles are assumed to be spherical. The value of the first
|
|
component should be the same as the Lennard-Jones sigma value defined
|
|
in the dipole pair potential, i.e. in "pair_style
|
|
dipole"_pair_dipole.html.
|
|
|
|
Ellipsoids use the atom shape to compute a generalized inertia tensor.
|
|
For example, a shape setting of 3.0 1.0 1.0 defines a particle 3x
|
|
longer in x than in y or z and with a circular cross-section in yz.
|
|
Ellipsoids that are spherical can be defined by setting all 3 shape
|
|
components the same.
|
|
|
|
The I index 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 mass for multiple atom types. This
|
|
takes the form "*" or "*n" or "n*" or "m*n". If N = the number of
|
|
atom 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).
|
|
|
|
A line in a data file that specifies shape uses the same format as the
|
|
arguments of the shape command in an input script, except that no
|
|
wild-card asterisk can be used. For example, under the "Shapes"
|
|
section of a data file, the line that corresponds to the 1st example
|
|
above would be listed as
|
|
|
|
1 1.0 1.0 1.0 :pre
|
|
|
|
[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.
|
|
|
|
All shapes must be defined before a simulation is run (if the atom
|
|
style requires shapes be set).
