<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Apply a force to each atom in a group to drag it towards the point
|
|
(x,y,z). The magnitude of the force is specified by fmag. If an atom
|
|
is closer than a distance delta to the point, then the force is not
|
|
applied.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Any of the x,y,z values can be specified as NULL which means do not
|
|
include that dimension in the distance calculation or force
|
|
application.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This command can be used to steer one or more atoms to a new location
|
|
in the simulation.

<P>No information about this fix is written to <A HREF = "restart.html">binary restart

files</A>. None of the <A HREF = "fix_modify.html">fix_modify</A> options

are relevant to this fix.

</P>
|
|
<P>This fix computes a 3-vector of forces, which can be accessed by
|
|
various <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">output commands</A>. This is the total
|
|
force on the group of atoms by the drag force. The vector values
|
|
calculated by this fix are "extensive", meaning they scale with the
|
|
number of atoms in the simulation.
|

</P>
|
|
<P>No parameter of this fix can be used with the <I>start/stop</I> keywords of
