[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Change or adapt one or more specific simulation attributes or settings
|
|
over time as a simulation runs. Pair potential and K-space and atom
|
|
attributes which can be varied by this fix are discussed below. Many
|
|
other fixes can also be used to time-vary simulation parameters,
|
|
e.g. the "fix deform" command will change the simulation box
|
|
size/shape and the "fix move" command will change atom positions and
|
|
velocities in a prescribed manner.
|
|
|
|
If {N} is specified as 0, the specified attributes are only changed
|
|
once, before the simulation begins. This is all that is needed if the
|
|
associated variables are not time-dependent. If {N} > 0, then changes
|
|
are made every {N} steps during the simulation, presumably with a
|
|
variable that is time-dependent.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the value of the {reset} keyword, attributes changed by
|
|
this fix will or will not be reset back to their original values at
|
|
the end of a simulation. Even if {reset} is specified as {yes}, a
|
|
restart file written during a simulation will contain the modified
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently, only the {pair} and {kspace} params
|
|
are resettable. {Atom} attributes are not. This will be
|
|
added at some point.
|
|
|
|
If the {scale} keyword is set to {no}, then the value the parameter is
|
|
set to will be whatever the variable generates. If the {scale}
|
|
keyword is set to {yes}, then the value of the altered parameter will
|
|
be the initial value of that parameter multiplied by whatever the
|
|
variable generates. I.e. the variable is now a "scale factor" applied
|
|
in (presumably) a time-varying fashion to the parameter. Internally,
|
|
the parameters themselves are actually altered; make sure you use the
|
|
{reset yes} option if you want the parameters to be restored to their
|
|
initial values after the run.
|
|
|
|
:line
|
|
|
|
The {pair} keyword enables various parameters of potentials defined by
|
|
the "pair_style"_pair_style.html command to be changed, if the pair
|
|
style supports it. Note that the "pair_style"_pair_style.html and
|
|
"pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html commands must be used in the usual manner
|
|
to specify these parameters initially; the fix adapt command simply
|
|
overrides the parameters.
|
|
|
|
The {pstyle} argument is the name of the pair style. If "pair_style
|
|
hybrid or hybrid/overlay"_pair_hybrid.html is used, {pstyle} should be
|
|
a sub-style name. For example, {pstyle} could be specified as "soft"
|
|
or "lubricate". The {pparam} argument is the name of the parameter to
|
|
change. This is the current list of pair styles and parameters that
|
|
can be varied by this fix. See the doc pages for individual pair
|
|
styles and their energy formulas for the meaning of these parameters:
|
|
|
|
"born"_pair_born.html: a,b,c: type pairs:
|
|
"buck"_pair_buck.html: a,c: type pairs:
|
|
"coul/cut"_pair_coul.html: scale: type pairs:
|
|
"coul/debye"_pair_coul.html: scale: type pairs:
|
|
"coul/long"_pair_coul.html: scale: type pairs:
|
|
"lj/cut"_pair_lj.html: epsilon: type pairs:
|
|
"lj/cut/opt"_pair_lj.html: epsilon: type pairs:
|
|
"lubricate"_pair_lubricate.html: mu: global:
|
|
"gauss"_pair_gauss.html: a: type pairs:
|
|
"soft"_pair_soft.html: a: type pairs :tb(c=3,s=:)
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is easy to add new potentials and their parameters
|
|
to this list. All it typically takes is adding an extract() method to
|
|
the pair_*.cpp file associated with the potential.
|
|
|
|
Some parameters are global settings for the pair style, e.g. the
|
|
viscosity setting "mu" for "pair_style lubricate"_pair_lubricate.html.
|
|
Other parameters apply to atom type pairs within the pair style,
|
|
e.g. the prefactor "a" for "pair_style soft"_pair_soft.html.
|
|
|
|
Note that for many of the potentials, the parameter that can be varied
|
|
is effectively a prefactor on the entire energy expression for the
|
|
potential, e.g. the lj/cut epsilon. The parameters listed as "scale"
|
|
are exactly that, since the energy expression for the
|
|
"coul/cut"_pair_coul.html potential (for example) has no labeled
|
|
prefactor in its formula. To apply an effective prefactor to some
|
|
potentials, multiple parameters need to be altered. For example, the
|
|
"Buckingham potential"_pair_buck.html needs both the A and C terms
|
|
altered together. To scale the Buckingham potential, you should thus
|
|
list the pair style twice, once for A and once for C.
|
|
|
|
If a type pair parameter is specified, the {I} and {J} settings should
|
|
be specified to indicate which type pairs to apply it to. If a global
|
|
parameter is specified, the {I} and {J} settings still need to be
|
|
specified, but are ignored.
|
|
|
|
Similar to the "pair_coeff command"_pair_coeff.html, I and J can be
|
|
specified in one of two ways. Explicit numeric values can be used for
|
|
each, as in the 1st example above. I <= J is required. LAMMPS sets
|
|
the coefficients for the symmetric J,I interaction to the same values.
|
|
|
|
A wild-card asterisk can be used in place of or in conjunction with
|
|
the I,J arguments to set the coefficients for multiple pairs of 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). Note that only type pairs with I <= J are considered; if
|
|
asterisks imply type pairs where J < I, they are ignored.
|
|
|
|
IMPROTANT NOTE: If "pair_style hybrid or
|
|
hybrid/overlay"_pair_hybrid.html is being used, then the {pstyle} will
|
|
be a sub-style name. You must specify I,J arguments that correspond
|
|
to type pair values defined (via the "pair_coeff"_doc/pair_coeff.html
|
|
command) for that sub-style.
|
|
|
|
The {v_name} argument for keyword {pair} is the name of an
|
|
"equal-style variable"_variable.html which will be evaluated each time
|
|
this fix is invoked to set the parameter to a new value. It should be
|
|
specified as v_name, where name is the variable name. Equal-style
|
|
variables can specify formulas with various mathematical functions,
|
|
and include "thermo_style"_thermo_style.html command keywords for the
|
|
simulation box parameters and timestep and elapsed time. Thus it is
|
|
easy to specify parameters that change as a function of time or span
|
|
consecutive runs in a continuous fashion. For the latter, see the
|
|
{start} and {stop} keywords of the "run"_run.html command and the
|
|
{elaplong} keyword of "thermo_style custom"_thermo_style.html for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
For example, these commands would change the prefactor coefficient of
|
|
the "pair_style soft"_pair_soft.html potential from 10.0 to 30.0 in a
|
|
linear fashion over the course of a simulation:
|
|
|
|
variable prefactor equal ramp(10,30)
|
|
fix 1 all adapt 1 pair soft a * * v_prefactor :pre
|
|
|
|
:line
|
|
|
|
The {kspace} keyword used the specified variable as a scale factor on
|
|
the energy, forces, virial calculated by whatever K-Space solver is
|
|
defined by the "kspace_style"_kspace_style.html command. If the
|
|
variable has a value of 1.0, then the solver is unaltered.
|
|
|
|
The {kspace} keyword works this way whether the {scale} keyword
|
|
is set to {no} or {yes}.
|
|
|
|
:line
|
|
|
|
The {atom} keyword enables various atom properties to be changed. The
|
|
{aparam} argument is the name of the parameter to change. This is the
|
|
current list of atom parameters that can be varied by this fix:
|
|
|
|
diameter = diameter of particle :ul
|
|
|
|
The {v_name} argument of the {atom} keyword is the name of an
|
|
"equal-style variable"_variable.html which will be evaluated each time
|
|
this fix is invoked to set the parameter to a new value. It should be
|
|
specified as v_name, where name is the variable name. See the
|
|
discussion above describing the formulas associated with equal-style
|
|
variables. The new value is assigned to the corresponding attribute
|
|
for all atoms in the fix group.
|
|
|
|
If the atom parameter is {diameter} and per-atom density and per-atom
|
|
mass are defined for particles (e.g. "atom_style
|
|
granular"_atom_style.html), then the mass of each particle is also
|
|
changed when the diameter changes (density is assumed to stay
|
|
constant).
|
|
|
|
For example, these commands would shrink the diameter of all granular
|
|
particles in the "center" group from 1.0 to 0.1 in a linear fashion
|
|
over the course of a 1000-step simulation:
|
|
|
|
variable size equal ramp(1.0,0.1)
|
|
fix 1 center adapt 10 atom diameter v_size :pre
|
|
