<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Displace a group of atoms. This can be used to move atoms a large
|
|
distance before beginning a simulation or to randomize atoms initially
|
|
on a lattice. For example, in a shear simulation, an initial strain
|
|
can be imposed on the system. Or two groups of atoms can be brought
|
|
into closer proximity.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>move</em> style displaces the group of atoms by the specified 3d
|
|
distance.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>ramp</em> style displaces atoms a variable amount in one dimension
|
|
depending on the atom’s coordinate in a (possibly) different
|
|
dimension. For example, the second example command displaces atoms in
|
|
the x-direction an amount between 0.0 and 5.0 distance units. Each
|
|
atom’s displacement depends on the fractional distance its y
|
|
coordinate is between 2.0 and 20.5. Atoms with y-coordinates outside
|
|
those bounds will be moved the minimum (0.0) or maximum (5.0) amount.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>random</em> style independently moves each atom in the group by a
|
|
random displacement, uniformly sampled from a value between -dx and
|
|
+dx in the x dimension, and similarly for y and z. Random numbers are
|
|
used in such a way that the displacement of a particular atom is the
|
|
same, regardless of how many processors are being used.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>rotate</em> style rotates each atom in the group by the angle <em>theta</em>
|
|
around a rotation axis <em>R</em> = (Rx,Ry,Rz) that goes thru a point <em>P</em> =
|
|
(Px,Py,Pz). The direction of rotation for the atoms around the
|
|
rotation axis is consistent with the right-hand rule: if your
|
|
right-hand’s thumb points along <em>R</em>, then your fingers wrap around the
|
|
axis in the direction of positive theta.</p>
|
|
<p>Distance units for displacements and the origin point of the <em>rotate</em>
|
|
style are determined by the setting of <em>box</em> or <em>lattice</em> for the
|
|
<em>units</em> keyword. <em>Box</em> means distance units as defined by the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><em>units</em></a> command - e.g. Angstroms for <em>real</em> units.
|
|
<em>Lattice</em> means distance units are in lattice spacings. The
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="lattice.html"><em>lattice</em></a> command must have been previously used to
|
|
define the lattice spacing.</p>

<p class="last">Care should be taken not to move atoms on top of other
|
|
atoms. After the move, atoms are remapped into the periodic
|
|
simulation box if needed, and any shrink-wrap boundary conditions (see
|
|
the <a class="reference internal" href="boundary.html"><em>boundary</em></a> command) are enforced which may change
|
|
the box size. Other than this effect, this command does not change
|
|
the size or shape of the simulation box. See the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="change_box.html"><em>change_box</em></a> command if that effect is desired.</p>
|

|
|
<div class="admonition warning">
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Warning</p>
|
|
<p class="last">Atoms can be moved arbitrarily long distances by this
|
|
command. If the simulation box is non-periodic and shrink-wrapped
|
|
(see the <a class="reference internal" href="boundary.html"><em>boundary</em></a> command), this can change its size
|
|
or shape. This is not a problem, except that the mapping of
|
|
processors to the simulation box is not changed by this command from
|
|
its initial 3d configuration; see the <a class="reference internal" href="processors.html"><em>processors</em></a>
|
|
command. Thus, if the box size/shape changes dramatically, the
|
|
mapping of processors to the simulation box may not end up as optimal
|
|
as the initial mapping attempted to be.</p>
