4. Packages :h3
|
|
|
|
This section gives a quick overview of the add-on packages that extend
|
|
LAMMPS functionality.
|
|
|
|
4.1 "Standard packages"_#pkg_1
|
|
4.2 "User packages"_#pkg_2 :all(b)
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS includes many optional packages, which are groups of files that
|
|
enable a specific set of features. For example, force fields for
|
|
molecular systems or granular systems are in packages. You can see
|
|
the list of all packages by typing "make package" from within the src
|
|
directory of the LAMMPS distribution.
|
|
|
|
See "Section_start 3"_Section_start.html#start_3 of the manual for
|
|
details on how to include/exclude specific packages as part of the
|
|
LAMMPS build process, and for more details about the differences
|
|
between standard packages and user packages in LAMMPS.
|
|
|
|
Below, the packages currently availabe in LAMMPS are listed. For
|
|
standard packages, just a one-line description is given. For user
|
|
packages, more details are provided.

USER-MISC package :h4
|
|
|
|
The files in this package are a potpourri of (mostly) unrelated
|
|
features contributed to LAMMPS by users. Each feature is a single
|
|
pair of files (*.cpp and *.h).
|
|
|
|
More information about each feature can be found by reading its doc
|
|
page in the LAMMPS doc directory. The doc page which lists all LAMMPS
|
|
input script commands is as follows:

|
|
|
USER-ATC package :h4
|
|
|
|
This package implements a "fix atc" command which can be used in a
|
|
LAMMPS input script. This fix can be employed to either do concurrent
|
|
coupling of MD with FE-based physics surrogates or on-the-fly
|
|
post-processing of atomic information to continuum fields.
|
|
|
|
See the doc page for the fix atc command to get started. At the
|
|
bottom of the doc page are many links to additional documentation
|
|
contained in the doc/USER/atc directory.
|
|
|
|
There are example scripts for using this package in examples/USER/atc.
|
|
|
|
This package uses an external library in lib/atc which must be
|
|
compiled before making LAMMPS. See the lib/atc/README file and the
|
|
LAMMPS manual for information on building LAMMPS with external
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
The primary people who created this package are Reese Jones (rjones at
|
|
sandia.gov), Jeremy Templeton (jatempl at sandia.gov) and Jon
|
|
Zimmerman (jzimmer at sandia.gov) at Sandia. Contact them directly if
|
|
you have questions.

|
|
USER-AWPMD package :h4
|
|
|
|
This package contains a LAMMPS implementation of the Antisymmetrized
|
|
Wave Packet Molecular Dynamics (AWPMD) method.
|
|
|
|
See the doc page for the pair_style awpmd/cut command to get started.
|
|
|
|
There are example scripts for using this package in examples/USER/awpmd.
|
|
|
|
This package uses an external library in lib/awpmd which must be
|
|
compiled before making LAMMPS. See the lib/awpmd/README file and the
|
|
LAMMPS manual for information on building LAMMPS with external
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
The person who created this package is Ilya Valuev at the JIHT in
|
|
Russia (valuev at physik.hu-berlin.de). Contact him directly if you
|
|
have questions.

|
|
|
|
USER-COLVARS package :h4
|
|
|
|
This package implements the "fix colvars" command which can be
|
|
used in a LAMMPS input script.
|
|
|
|
This fix allows to use "collective variables" to implement
|
|
Adaptive Biasing Force, Metadynamics, Steered MD, Umbrella
|
|
Sampling and Restraints. This code consists of two parts:
|
|
|
|
A portable collective variable module library written and maintained by Giacomo Fiorin (ICMS, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA) and Jerome Henin (LISM, CNRS, Marseille, France). This code is located in the directory lib/colvars and needs to be compiled first.
|
|
The colvars fix and an interface layer, exchanges information between LAMMPS and the collective variable module. :ul
|
|
|
|
See the doc page of "fix colvars"_fix_colvars.html for more details.
|
|
|
|
There are example scripts for using this package in
|
|
examples/USER/colvars
|
|
|
|
This is a very new interface that does not yet support all
|
|
features in the module and will see future optimizations
|
|
and improvements. The colvars module library is also available
|
|
in NAMD has been thoroughly used and tested there. Bugs and
|
|
problems are likely due to the interface layers code.
|
|
Thus the current version of this package should be considered
|
|
beta quality.
|
|
|
|
The person who created this package is Axel Kohlmeyer at Temple U
|
|
(akohlmey at gmail.com). Contact him directly if you have questions.

|
|
|
|
USER-CG-CMM package :h4
|
|
|
|
This package implements 3 commands which can be used in a LAMMPS input
|
|
script:
|
|
|
|
pair_style lj/sdk
|
|
pair_style lj/sdk/coul/long
|
|
angle_style sdk :ul
|
|
|
|
These styles allow coarse grained MD simulations with the
|
|
parametrization of Shinoda, DeVane, Klein, Mol Sim, 33, 27 (2007)
|
|
(SDK), with extensions to simulate ionic liquids, electrolytes, lipids
|
|
and charged amino acids.
|
|
|
|
See the doc pages for these commands for details.
|
|
|
|
There are example scripts for using this package in
|
|
examples/USER/cg-cmm.
|
|
|
|
This is the second generation implementation reducing the the clutter
|
|
of the previous version. For many systems with electrostatics, it will
|
|
be faster to use pair_style hybrid/overlay with lj/sdk and coul/long
|
|
instead of the combined lj/sdk/coul/long style. since the number of
|
|
charged atom types is usually small. For any other coulomb
|
|
interactions this is now required. To exploit this property, the use
|
|
of the kspace_style pppm/cg is recommended over regular pppm. For all
|
|
new styles, input file backward compatibility is provided. The old
|
|
implementation is still available through appending the /old
|
|
suffix. These will be discontinued and removed after the new
|
|
implementation has been fully validated.
|
|
|
|
The current version of this package should be considered beta
|
|
quality. The CG potentials work correctly for "normal" situations, but
|
|
have not been testing with all kinds of potential parameters and
|
|
simulation systems.

USER-CUDA package :h4
|
|
|
|
This package provides acceleration of various LAMMPS pair styles, fix
|
|
styles, compute styles, and long-range Coulombics via PPPM for NVIDIA
|
|
GPUs.
|
|
|
|
See this section of the manual to get started:
|
|
|
|
"Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html#acc_4
|
|
|
|
There are example scripts for using this package in
|
|
examples/USER/cuda.
|
|
|
|
This package uses an external library in lib/cuda which must be
|
|
compiled before making LAMMPS. See the lib/cuda/README file and the
|
|
LAMMPS manual for information on building LAMMPS with external
|
|
libraries.

USER-EFF package :h4
|
|
|
|
This package contains a LAMMPS implementation of the electron Force
|
|
Field (eFF) currently under development at Caltech, as described in
|
|
A. Jaramillo-Botero, J. Su, Q. An, and W.A. Goddard III, JCC,
|
|
2010. The eFF potential was first introduced by Su and Goddard, in
|
|
2007.
|
|
|
|
eFF can be viewed as an approximation to QM wave packet dynamics and
|
|
Fermionic molecular dynamics, combining the ability of electronic
|
|
structure methods to describe atomic structure, bonding, and chemistry
|
|
in materials, and of plasma methods to describe nonequilibrium
|
|
dynamics of large systems with a large number of highly excited
|
|
electrons. We classify it as a mixed QM-classical approach rather than
|
|
a conventional force field method, which introduces QM-based terms (a
|
|
spin-dependent repulsion term to account for the Pauli exclusion
|
|
principle and the electron wavefunction kinetic energy associated with
|
|
the Heisenberg principle) that reduce, along with classical
|
|
electrostatic terms between nuclei and electrons, to the sum of a set
|
|
of effective pairwise potentials. This makes eFF uniquely suited to
|
|
simulate materials over a wide range of temperatures and pressures
|
|
where electronically excited and ionized states of matter can occur
|
|
and coexist.
|
|
|
|
The necessary customizations to the LAMMPS core are in place to
|
|
enable the correct handling of explicit electron properties during
|
|
minimization and dynamics.
|
|
|
|
See the doc page for the pair_style eff/cut command to get started.
|
|
|
|
There are example scripts for using this package in
|
|
examples/USER/eff.
|
|
|
|
There are auxiliary tools for using this package in tools/eff.

USER-EWALDN package :h4
|
|
|
|
This package implements 3 commands which can be used in a LAMMPS input
|
|
script: pair_style lj/coul, pair_style buck/coul, and kspace_style
|
|
ewald/n.
|
|
|
|
The "kspace_style ewald/n" command is similar to standard Ewald for
|
|
charges, but also enables the Lennard-Jones interaction, or any 1/r^N
|
|
interaction to be of infinite extent, instead of being cutoff. LAMMPS
|
|
pair potentials for long-range Coulombic interactions, such as
|
|
lj/cut/coul/long can be used with ewald/n. The two new pair_style
|
|
commands provide the modifications for the short-range LJ and
|
|
Buckingham interactions that can also be used with ewald/n.
|
|
|
|
Two other advantages of kspace_style ewald/n are that
|
|
|
|
a) it can be used with non-orthogonal (triclinic symmetry) simulation
|
|
boxes
|
|
|
|
b) it can include long-range summations not just for Coulombic
|
|
interactions (1/r), but also for dispersion interactions (1/r^6) and
|
|
dipole interactions (1/r^3).
|
|
|
|
Neither of these options is currently possible for other kspace styles
|
|
such as PPPM and ewald.
|
|
|
|
See the doc pages for these commands for details.

USER-REAXC package :h4
|
|
|
|
This package contains a implementation for LAMMPS of the ReaxFF force
|
|
field. ReaxFF uses distance-dependent bond-order functions to
|
|
represent the contributions of chemical bonding to the potential
|
|
energy. It was originally developed by Adri van Duin and the Goddard
|
|
group at CalTech.
|
|
|
|
The USER-REAXC version of ReaxFF (pair_style reax/c), implemented in
|
|
C, should give identical or very similar results to pair_style reax,
|
|
which is a ReaxFF implementation on top of a Fortran library, a
|
|
version of which library was originally authored by Adri van Duin.
|
|
|
|
The reax/c version should be somewhat faster and more scalable,
|
|
particularly with respect to the charge equilibration calculation. It
|
|
should also be easier to build and use since there are no complicating
|
|
issues with Fortran memory allocation or linking to a Fortran library.
|
|
|
|
For technical details about this implemention of ReaxFF, see
|
|
