<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Define a computation that calculates the current displacement of each
|
|
atom in the group from its original coordinates, including all effects
|
|
due to atoms passing thru periodic boundaries.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>A vector of four quantites per atom is calculated by this compute.
|
|
The first 3 elements of the vector are the dx,dy,dz displacements.
|
|
The 4th component is the total displacement, i.e. sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy +
|
|
dz*dz).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The displacement of an atom is from its original position at the time
|
|
the compute command was issued. To store the original coordinates,
|
|
the compute creates its own fix of style "store/coord", as if this
|
|
command had been issued:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>fix compute-ID_store_coord group-ID store/coord
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>See the <A HREF = "fix_coord_original.html">fix store/coord</A> command for details.
|
|
Note that the ID of the new fix is the compute-ID + underscore +
|
|
"store_coord", and the group for the new fix is the same as the
|
|
compute group.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The value of the displacement will be 0.0 for atoms not in the
|
|
specified compute group.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: Fix store/coord stores the initial coordinates in
|
|
"unwrapped" form, by using the image flags associated with each atom.
|
|
See the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A> command for a discussion of
|
|
"unwrapped" coordinates. See the Atoms section of the
|
|
<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> 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 <A HREF = "set.html">set
|
|
image</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: If an atom is part of a rigid body (see the <A HREF = "fix_rigid.html">fix
|
|
rigid</A> command), it's periodic image flags are altered,
|
|
and the computed displacement may not reflect its true displacement.
|
|
See the <A HREF = "fix_rigid.html">fix rigid</A> command for details. Thus, to
|
|
compute the displacement of rigid bodies as they cross periodic
|
|
boundaries, you will need to post-process a <A HREF = "dump.html">dump file</A>
|
|
containing coordinates of the atoms in the bodies.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want the quantities calculated by this compute
|
|
to be continuous when running from a <A HREF = "read_restart.html">restart file</A>,
|
|
then you should use the same ID for this compute, as in the original
|
|
run. This is so that the created fix will also have the same ID, and
|
|
thus be initialized correctly with atom coordinates from the restart
|
|
file.
|
|

<P><B>Output info:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This compute calculates a per-atom array with 4 columns, which can be
|
|
accessed by indices 1-4 by any command that uses per-atom values from
|
|
a compute as input. See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">this section</A> for an
|
|
overview of LAMMPS output options.
