<P><B>Description:</B>

</P>
|
|
<HR>
|
|
|
|
<P>Specify the dihedral force field coefficients for one or more dihedral types.
|
|
The number and meaning of the coefficients depends on the dihedral style.
|
|
Dihedral coefficients can also be set in the data file read by the
|
|
<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command or in a restart file.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>N can be specified in one of two ways. An explicit numeric value can
|
|
be used, as in the 1st example above. Or a wild-card asterisk can be
|
|
used to set the coefficients for multiple dihedral types. This takes the
|
|
form "*" or "*n" or "n*" or "m*n". If N = the number of dihedral types,
|
|
then an asterisk with no numeric values means all types from 1 to N. A
|
|
leading asterisk means all types from 1 to n (inclusive). A trailing
|
|
asterisk means all types from n to N (inclusive). A middle asterisk
|
|
means all types from m to n (inclusive).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Note that using a dihedral_coeff command can override a previous setting
|
|
for the same dihedral type. For example, these commands set the coeffs
|
|
for all dihedral types, then overwrite the coeffs for just dihedral type 2:

<PRE>dihedral_coeff * 80.0 1 3
|
|
dihedral_coeff 2 200.0 1 3
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>A line in a data file that specifies dihedral coefficients uses the exact
|
|
same format as the arguments of the dihedral_coeff command in an input
|
|
script, except that wild-card asterisks should not be used since
|
|
coefficients for all N types must be listed in the file. For example,
|
|
under the "Dihedral Coeffs" section of a data file, the line that
|
|
corresponds to the 1st example above would be listed as
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>1 80.0 1 3
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>The <A HREF = "dihedral_class2.html">dihedral_style class2</A> is an exception to
|
|
this rule, in that an additional argument is used in the input script
|
|
to allow specification of the cross-term coefficients. See its doc
|
|
page for details.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: When comparing the formulas and coefficients for
|
|
various LAMMPS dihedral styles with dihedral equations defined by
|
|
other force fields, note that some force field implementations
|
|
divide/multiply the energy prefactor <I>K</I> by the multiple number of
|
|
torsions that contain the J-K bond in an I-J-K-L torsion. LAMMPS does
|
|
not do this, i.e. the listed dihedral equation applies to each
|
|
individual dihedral. Thus you need to define <I>K</I> appropriately to
|
|
account for this difference if necessary.

|
<P>Here is an alphabetic list of dihedral styles defined in LAMMPS. Click on
|
|
the style to display the formula it computes and coefficients
|
|
specified by the associated <A HREF = "dihedral_coeff.html">dihedral_coeff</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Note that there are also additional dihedral styles submitted by users
|
|
which are included in the LAMMPS distribution. The list of these with
|
|
links to the individual styles are given in the dihedral section of
