compute inertia/molecule command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
compute ID group-ID inertia/molecule :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
|
|
inertia/molecule = style name of this compute command :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
compute 1 fluid inertia/molecule :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the inertia tensor of individual
|
|
molecules. The calculation includes all effects due to atoms passing
|
|
thru periodic boundaries.
|
|
|
|
The symmetric intertia tensor has 6 components, ordered
|
|
Ixx,Iyy,Izz,Ixy,Iyz,Ixz. The tensor for a particular molecule is only
|
|
computed if one or more of its atoms is in the specified group.
|
|
Normally all atoms in the molecule should be in the group, however
|
|
this is not required. LAMMPS will warn you if this is not the case.
|
|
Only atoms in the group contribute to the inertia tensor and
|
|
associated center-of-mass calculation for the molecule.
|
|
|
|
The ordering of per-molecule quantities produced by this compute is
|
|
consistent with the ordering produced by other compute commands that
|
|
generate per-molecule datums. Conceptually, the molecule IDs will be
|
|
in ascending order for any molecule with one or more of its atoms in
|
|
the specified group.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: The coordinates of an atom contribute to the
|
|
molecule's inertia tensor in "unwrapped" form, by using the image
|
|
flags associated with each atom. See the "dump custom"_dump.html
|
|
command for a discussion of "unwrapped" coordinates. See the Atoms
|
|
section of the "read_data"_read_data.html command for a discussion of
|
|
image flags and how they are set for each atom. You can reset the
|
|
image flags (e.g. to 0) before invoking this compute by using the "set
|
|
image"_set.html command.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: If an atom is part of a rigid body (see the "fix
|
|
rigid"_fix_rigid.html command), it's periodic image flags are altered,
|
|
and its contribution to the inertia tensor may not reflect its true
|
|
contribution. See the "fix rigid"_fix_rigid.html command for details.
|
|
Thus, to compute the inertia tensor of rigid bodies as they cross
|
|
periodic boundaries, you will need to post-process a "dump
|
|
file"_dump.html containing coordinates of the atoms in the bodies.
|
|
|
|
[Output info:]
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a global array where the number of rows =
|
|
Nmolecules and the number of columns = 6 for the 6 components of the
|
|
inertia tensor of each molecule, ordered as listed above. These
|
|
values can be accessed by any command that uses global array values
|
|
from a compute as input. See "Section_howto
|
|
15"_Section_howto.html#howto_15 for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
The array values are "intensive". The array values will be in
|
|
distance "units"_units.html.
