delete_atoms command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
delete_atoms style args :pre
|
|
|
|
style = {group} or {region} or {overlap} :ulb,l
|
|
{group} args = group-ID
|
|
{region} args = region-ID
|
|
{overlap} args = cutoff group1-ID group2-ID
|
|
cutoff = delete one atom from pairs of atoms within the cutoff (distance units)
|
|
group1-ID = one atom in pair must be in this group
|
|
group2-ID = other atom in pair must be in this group
|
|
:pre
|
|
:ule
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
delete_atoms group edge
|
|
delete_atoms region sphere
|
|
delete_atoms overlap 0.3 all all
|
|
delete_atoms overlap 0.5 solvent colloid :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Delete the specified atoms. This command can be used to carve out
|
|
voids from a block of material or to delete created atoms that are too
|
|
close to each other (e.g. at a grain boundary).
|
|
|
|
For style {group}, all atoms belonging to the group are deleted.
|
|
|
|
For style {region}, all atoms in the region volume are deleted.
|
|
|
|
For style {overlap} pairs of atoms whose distance of separation is
|
|
within the specified cutoff distance are searched for, and one of the
|
|
2 atoms is deleted. Only pairs where one of the two atoms is in the
|
|
first group specified and the other atom is in the second group are
|
|
considered. The atom that is in the first group is the one that is
|
|
deleted.
|
|
|
|
Note that it is OK for the two group IDs to be the same (e.g. group
|
|
{all}), or for some atoms to be members of both groups. In these
|
|
cases, either atom in the pair may be deleted. Also note that if
|
|
there are atoms which are members of both groups, the only guarantee
|
|
is that at the end of the deletion operation, enough deletions will
|
|
have occurred that no atom pairs within the cutoff will remain
|
|
(subject to the group restriction). There is no guarantee that the
|
|
minimum number of atoms will be deleted, or that the same atoms will
|
|
be deleted when running on different numbers of processors.
|
|
|
|
After atoms are deleted, if the system is not molecular (no bonds),
|
|
then atom IDs are re-assigned so that they run from 1 to the number of
|
|
atoms in the system. This is not done for molecular systems, since it
|
|
would foul up the bond connectivity that has already been assigned.
|
|
|
|
[Restrictions:]
|
|
|
|
The {overlap} styles requires inter-processor communication to acquire
|
|
ghost atoms and build a neighbor list. This means that your system
|
|
must be ready to perform a simulation before using this command (force
|
|
fields setup, atom masses set, etc). Since a neighbor list is used to
|
|
find overlapping atom pairs, it also means that you must define a
|
|
"pair style"_pair_style.html with force cutoffs greater than or equal
|
|
to the desired overlap cutoff between pairs of relevant atom types,
|
|
even though the pair potential will not be evaluated.
|
|
|
|
If the "special_bonds"_special_bonds.html command is used with a
|
|
setting of 0, then a pair of bonded atoms (1-2, 1-3, or 1-4) will not
|
|
appear in the neighbor list, and thus will not be considered for
|
|
deletion by the {overlap} styles. You probably don't want to be
|
|
deleting one atom in a bonded pair anyway.
