<H3>compute pair/local command

<UL><LI>ID, group-ID are documented in <A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> command
<LI>pair/local = style name of this compute command
<LI>zero or more keywords may be appended

<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Define a computation that calculates properties of individual pairwise
interactions. The number of datums generated, aggregated across all
processors, equals the number of pairwise interactions in the system.
</P>
<P>The local data stored by this command is generated by looping over the
pairwise neighbor list. Info about an individual pairwise interaction
will only be included if both atoms in the pair are in the specified
compute group, and if the current pairwise distance is less than the
force cutoff distance for that interaction, as defined by the
<A HREF = "pair_style.html">pair_style</A> and <A HREF = "pair_coeff.html">pair_coeff</A>
commands.
</P>
<P>The output <I>dist</I> will be in distance <A HREF = "units.html">units</A>. The output
<I>eng</I> will be in energy <A HREF = "units.html">units</A>. The output <I>force</I> will
be in force <A HREF = "units.html">units</A>.
</P>
<P>Note that as atoms migrate from processor to processor, there will be
no consistent ordering of the entries within the local vector or array
from one timestep to the next. The only consistency that is
guaranteed is that the ordering on a particular timestep will be the
same for local vectors or arrays generated by other compute commands.
For example, pair output from the <A HREF = "compute_property_local.html">compute
property/local</A> command can be combined
with data from this command and output by the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump local</A>
command in a consistent way.
</P>
<P><B>Output info:</B>
</P>
<P>This compute calculates a local vector or local array depending on the
number of keywords. The length of the vector or number of rows in the
array is the number of pairs. If a single keyword is specified, a
local vector is produced. If two or more keywords are specified, a
local array is produced where the number of columns = the number of
keywords. The vector or array can be accessed by any command that
uses local values from a compute as input. See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">this
section</A> for an overview of LAMMPS output
options.
