Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Modify one or more parameters of a previously defined compute. Not
|
|
all compute styles support all parameters.
|
|
|
|
The *extra* keyword refers to how many degrees-of-freedom are
|
|
subtracted (typically from 3N) as a normalizing factor in a
|
|
temperature computation. Only computes that compute a temperature use
|
|
this option. The default is 2 or 3 for :doc:`2d or 3d systems <dimension>` which is a correction factor for an ensemble
|
|
of velocities with zero total linear momentum. For compute
|
|
temp/partial, if one or more velocity components are excluded, the
|
|
value used for *extra* is scaled accordingly. You can use a negative
|
|
number for the *extra* parameter if you need to add
|
|
degrees-of-freedom. See the :doc:`compute temp/asphere <compute_temp_asphere>` command for an example.
|
|
|
|
The *dynamic* keyword determines whether the number of atoms N in the
|
|
compute group is re-computed each time a temperature is computed.
|
|
Only compute styles that calculate a temperature use this option. By
|
|
default, N is assumed to be constant. If you are adding atoms to the
|
|
system (see the :doc:`fix pour <fix_pour>` or :doc:`fix deposit <fix_deposit>` commands) or expect atoms to be lost
|
|
(e.g. due to evaporation), then this option should be used to insure
|
|
the temperature is correctly normalized.

dynamic = no.
