angle_style cosine/periodic command :h3
[Syntax:]
angle_style cosine/periodic :pre
[Examples:]
angle_style cosine/periodic
angle_coeff * 75.0 1 6 :pre
[Description:]
The {cosine/periodic} angle style uses the following potential, which
is commonly used in the "DREIDING"_Section_howto.html#howto_4 force
field, particularly for organometallic systems where {n} = 4 might be
used for an octahedral complex and {n} = 3 might be used for a
trigonal center:
:c,image(Eqs/angle_cosine_periodic.jpg)
where C, B and n are coefficients defined for each angle type.
See "(Mayo)"_#Mayo for a description of the DREIDING force field
The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
"angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the "read_data"_read_data.html
or "read_restart"_read_restart.html commands:
C (energy)
B = 1 or -1
n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 for periodicity :ul
Note that the prefactor C is specified and not the overall force
constant K = C / n^2. When B = 1, it leads to a minimum for the
linear geometry. When B = -1, it leads to a maximum for the linear
geometry.
[Restrictions:]
This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
"molecular" package (which it is by default). See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info on packages.

"angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html
[Default:] none
