<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Read in a data file containing information LAMMPS needs to run a
simulation. The file can be ASCII text or a gzipped text file
(detected by a .gz suffix). This is one of 3 ways to specify initial
atom coordinates; see the <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> and
<A HREF = "create_atoms.html">create_atoms</A> commands for alternative methods.
</P>
<P>The structure of the data file is important, though many settings and
sections are optional or can come in any order. See the examples
directory for sample data files for different problems.
</P>
<P>A data file has a header and a body. The header appears first. The
first line of the header is always skipped; it typically contains a
description of the file. Then lines are read one at a time. Lines
can have a trailing comment starting with '#' that is ignored. If the
line is blank (only whitespace after comment is deleted), it is
skipped. If the line contains a header keyword, the corresponding
value(s) is read from the line. If it doesn't contain a header
keyword, the line begins the body of the file.
</P>
<P>The body of the file contains zero or more sections. The first line
of a section has only a keyword. The next line is skipped. The
remaining lines of the section contain values. The number of lines
depends on the section keyword as described below. Zero or more blank
lines can be used between sections. Sections can appear in any order,
with a few exceptions as noted below.
</P>
<P>If the keyword <I>fix</I> is used, it specifies a fix that will be used to
process portions of the data file. Any header line containing
<I>header-string</I> and any section with a name containing
<I>section-string</I> will be passed to the fix. See the <A HREF = "fix_cmap.html">fix
cmap</A> command for an example of a fix that operates in
this manner. The doc page for the fix defines the syntax of the
header line(s) and section(s) that it reads from the data file.
</P>
<P>The formatting of individual lines in the data file (indentation,
spacing between words and numbers) is not important except that header
and section keywords (e.g. atoms, xlo xhi, Masses, Bond Coeffs) must
be capitalized as shown and can't have extra white space between their
words - e.g. two spaces or a tab between the 2 words in "xlo xhi" or
the 2 words in "Bond Coeffs", is not valid.
</P>
<HR>
<P>These are the recognized header keywords. Header lines can come in
any order. The value(s) are read from the beginning of the line.
Thus the keyword <I>atoms</I> should be in a line like "1000 atoms"; the
keyword <I>ylo yhi</I> should be in a line like "-10.0 10.0 ylo yhi"; the
keyword <I>xy xz yz</I> should be in a line like "0.0 5.0 6.0 xy xz yz".
All these settings have a default value of 0, except the lo/hi box
size defaults are -0.5 and 0.5. A line need only appear if the value
is different than the default.

<P>The initial simulation box size is determined by the lo/hi settings.
In any dimension, the system may be periodic or non-periodic; see the
<A HREF = "boundary.html">boundary</A> command.
</P>
<P>If the <I>xy xz yz</I> line does not appear, LAMMPS will set up an
axis-aligned (orthogonal) simulation box. If the line does appear,
LAMMPS creates a non-orthogonal simulation domain shaped as a
parallelepiped with triclinic symmetry. The parallelepiped has its
"origin" at (xlo,ylo,zlo) and is defined by 3 edge vectors starting
from the origin given by A = (xhi-xlo,0,0); B = (xy,yhi-ylo,0); C =
(xz,yz,zhi-zlo). <I>Xy,xz,yz</I> can be 0.0 or positive or negative values
and are called "tilt factors" because they are the amount of
displacement applied to faces of an originally orthogonal box to
transform it into the parallelepiped.
</P>
<P>The tilt factors (xy,xz,yz) can not skew the box more than half the
distance of the corresponding parallel box length. For example, if
xlo = 2 and xhi = 12, then the x box length is 10 and the xy tilt
factor must be between -5 and 5. Similarly, both xz and yz must be
between -(xhi-xlo)/2 and +(yhi-ylo)/2. Note that this is not a
limitation, since if the maximum tilt factor is 5 (as in this
example), then configurations with tilt = ..., -15, -5, 5, 15, 25,
... are all geometrically equivalent.
</P>
<P>See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_12">Section_howto 12</A> of the doc pages
for a geometric description of triclinic boxes, as defined by LAMMPS,
and how to transform these parameters to and from other commonly used
triclinic representations.
</P>
<P>When a triclinic system is used, the simulation domain must be
periodic in any dimensions with a non-zero tilt factor, as defined by
the <A HREF = "boundary.html">boundary</A> command. I.e. if the xy tilt factor is
non-zero, then both the x and y dimensions must be periodic.
Similarly, x and z must be periodic if xz is non-zero and y and z must
be periodic if yz is non-zero. Also note that if your simulation will
tilt the box, e.g. via the <A HREF = "fix_deform.html">fix deform</A> command, the
simulation box must be defined as triclinic, even if the tilt factors
are initially 0.0.
</P>
<P>For 2d simulations, the <I>zlo zhi</I> values should be set to bound the z
coords for atoms that appear in the file; the default of -0.5 0.5 is
valid if all z coords are 0.0. For 2d triclinic simulations, the xz
and yz tilt factors must be 0.0.
</P>
<P>If the system is periodic (in a dimension), then atom coordinates can
be outside the bounds (in that dimension); they will be remapped (in a
periodic sense) back inside the box.
</P>
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: If the system is non-periodic (in a dimension), then
all atoms in the data file must have coordinates (in that dimension)
that are "greater than or equal to" the lo value and "less than or
equal to" the hi value. If the non-periodic dimension is of style
"fixed" (see the <A HREF = "boundary.html">boundary</A> command), then the atom
coords must be strictly "less than" the hi value, due to the way
LAMMPS assign atoms to processors. Note that you should not make the
lo/hi values radically smaller/larger than the extent of the atoms.
For example, if your atoms extend from 0 to 50, you should not specify
the box bounds as -10000 and 10000. This is because LAMMPS uses the
specified box size to layout the 3d grid of processors. A huge
(mostly empty) box will be sub-optimal for performance when using
"fixed" boundary conditions (see the <A HREF = "boundary.html">boundary</A>
command). When using "shrink-wrap" boundary conditions (see the
<A HREF = "boundary.html">boundary</A> command), a huge (mostly empty) box may cause
a parallel simulation to lose atoms the first time that LAMMPS
shrink-wraps the box around the atoms.
</P>
<P>The "extra bond per atom" setting should be used if new bonds will be
added to the system when a simulation runs, e.g. by using the <A HREF = "fix_bond_create.html">fix
bond/create</A> command. This will pre-allocate
space in LAMMPS data structures for storing the new bonds.
</P>
<P>The "ellipsoids" and "lines" and "triangles" and "bodies" settings are
only used with <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style ellipsoid or line or tri or
body</A> and specify how many of the atoms are
finite-size ellipsoids or lines or triangles or bodies; the remainder
are point particles. See the discussion of ellipsoidflag and the
<I>Ellipsoids</I> section below. See the discussion of lineflag and the
<I>Lines</I> section below. See the discussion of triangleflag and the
<I>Triangles</I> section below. See the discussion of bodyflag and the
<I>Bodies</I> section below.

</UL>
<P>The units for these quantities depend on the unit style; see the
<A HREF = "units.html">units</A> command for details.
</P>
<P>For 2d simulations specify z as 0.0, or a value within the <I>zlo zhi</I>
setting in the data file header.
</P>
<P>The atom-ID is used to identify the atom throughout the simulation and
in dump files. Normally, it is a unique value from 1 to Natoms for
each atom. Unique values larger than Natoms can be used, but they
will cause extra memory to be allocated on each processor, if an atom
map array is used (see the <A HREF = "atom_modify.html">atom_modify</A> command).
If an atom map array is not used (e.g. an atomic system with no
bonds), and velocities are not assigned in the data file, and you
don't care if unique atom IDs appear in dump files, then the atom-IDs
can all be set to 0.
</P>
<P>The molecule ID is a 2nd identifier attached to an atom. Normally, it
is a number from 1 to N, identifying which molecule the atom belongs
to. It can be 0 if it is an unbonded atom or if you don't care to
keep track of molecule assignments.
</P>
<P>The diameter specifies the size of a finite-size spherical particle.
It can be set to 0.0, which means that atom is a point particle.
</P>
<P>The ellipsoidflag, lineflag, triangleflag, and bodyflag determine
whether the particle is a finite-size ellipsoid or line or triangle or
body of finite size, or whether the particle is a point particle.
Additional attributes must be defined for each ellipsoid, line,
triangle, or body in the corresponding <I>Ellipsoids</I>, <I>Lines</I>,
<I>Triangles</I>, or <I>Bodies</I> section.
</P>
<P>Some pair styles and fixes and computes that operate on finite-size
particles allow for a mixture of finite-size and point particles. See
the doc pages of individual commands for details.
</P>
<P>For finite-size particles, the density is used in conjunction with the
particle volume to set the mass of each particle as mass = density *
volume. In this context, volume can be a 3d quantity (for spheres or
ellipsoids), a 2d quantity (for triangles), or a 1d quantity (for line
segments). If the volume is 0.0, meaning a point particle, then the
density value is used as the mass. One exception is for the body atom
style, in which case the mass of each particle (body or point
particle) is specified explicitly. This is because the volume of the
body is unknown.
</P>
<P>For atom_style hybrid, following the 5 initial values (ID,type,x,y,z),
specific values for each sub-style must be listed. The order of the
sub-styles is the same as they were listed in the
<A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style</A> command. The sub-style specific values
are those that are not the 5 standard ones (ID,type,x,y,z). For
example, for the "charge" sub-style, a "q" value would appear. For
the "full" sub-style, a "molecule-ID" and "q" would appear. These are
listed in the same order they appear as listed above. Thus if
</P>
<PRE>atom_style hybrid charge sphere
</PRE>
<P>were used in the input script, each atom line would have these fields:
</P>
<PRE>atom-ID atom-type x y z q diameter density
</PRE>
<P>Note that if a non-standard value is defined by multiple sub-styles,
it must appear mutliple times in the atom line. E.g. the atom line
for atom_style hybrid dipole full would list "q" twice:
</P>
<PRE>atom-ID atom-type x y z q mux muy myz molecule-ID q
</PRE>
<P>Atom lines (all lines or none of them) can optionally list 3 trailing
integer values: nx,ny,nz. For periodic dimensions, they specify which
image of the simulation box the atom is considered to be in. An image
of 0 means it is inside the box as defined. A value of 2 means add 2
box lengths to get the true value. A value of -1 means subtract 1 box
length to get the true value. LAMMPS updates these flags as atoms
cross periodic boundaries during the simulation. The flags can be
output with atom snapshots via the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump</A> command.
</P>
<P>If nx,ny,nz values are not set in the data file, LAMMPS initializes
them to 0. If image information is needed for later analysis and they
are not all initially 0, it's important to set them correctly in the
data file. Also, if you plan to use the <A HREF = "replicate.html">replicate</A>
command to generate a larger system, these flags must be listed
correctly for bonded atoms when the bond crosses a periodic boundary.
I.e. the values of the image flags should be different by 1 (in the
appropriate dimension) for the two atoms in such a bond.
</P>
<P>Atom velocities and other atom quantities not defined above are set to
0.0 when the <I>Atoms</I> section is read. Velocities can be set later by
a <I>Velocities</I> section in the data file or by a

script.

of the atom as a quaternion (4-vector). Note that the shape
attributes specify the aspect ratios of an ellipsoidal particle, which
is oriented by default with its x-axis along the simulation box's
x-axis, and similarly for y and z. If this body is rotated (via the
right-hand rule) by an angle theta around a unit vector (a,b,c), then
the quaternion that represents its new orientation is given by
(cos(theta/2), a*sin(theta/2), b*sin(theta/2), c*sin(theta/2)). These
4 components are quatw, quati, quatj, and quatk as specified above.
LAMMPS normalizes each atom's quaternion in case (a,b,c) is not
specified as a unit vector.
