|
|
<p>Dump a snapshot of atom coordinates and selected additional quantities
|
|
to one or more files every N timesteps in one of several formats.
|
|
Only information for atoms in the specified group is dumped. This
|
|
specific dump style uses molfile plugins that are bundled with the
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd">VMD</a> molecular visualization and
|
|
analysis program. See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_tools.html#vmd"><span>Section tools</span></a> of the
|
|
manual and the tools/lmp2vmd/README.txt file for more information
|
|
about support in VMD for reading and visualizing native LAMMPS dump
|
|
files.</p>
|
|
<p>Unless the filename contains a * character, the output will be written
|
|
to one single file with the specified format. Otherwise there will be
|
|
one file per snapshot and the * will be replaced by the time step number
|
|
when the snapshot is written.</p>
|
|
<div class="admonition warning">
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Warning</p>
|
|
<p class="last">Because periodic boundary conditions are enforced only
|
|
on timesteps when neighbor lists are rebuilt, the coordinates of an
|
|
atom written to a dump file may be slightly outside the simulation
|
|
box.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The molfile plugin API has a few restrictions that have to be honored
|
|
by this dump style: the number of atoms must not change, the atoms
|
|
must be sorted, outside of the coordinates no change in atom properties
|
|
(like type, mass, charge) will be recorded.</p>
|
|
<hr class="docutils" />
|
|
<p>The <em>format</em> keyword determines what format is used to write out the
|
|
dump. For this to work, LAMMPS must be able to find and load a
|
|
compatible molfile plugin that supports this format. Settings made via
|
|
the <a class="reference internal" href="dump_modify.html"><em>dump_modify</em></a> command can alter per atom properties
|
|
like element names.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>path</em> keyword determines which in directories. This is a “path”
|
|
like other search paths, i.e. it can contain multiple directories
|
|
separated by a colon (or semi-colon on windows). This keyword is
|
|
optional and default to ”.”, the current directory.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>unwrap</em> option of the <a class="reference internal" href="dump_modify.html"><em>dump_modify</em></a> command allows
|
|
coordinates to be written “unwrapped” by the image flags for each atom.
|
|
Unwrapped means that if the atom has passed through a periodic boundary
|
|
one or more times, the value is printed for what the coordinate would be
|
|
if it had not been wrapped back into the periodic box. Note that these
|
|
coordinates may thus be far outside the box size stored with the
|
|
snapshot.</p>
|
|
<hr class="docutils" />
|
|
<p>Dumps are performed on timesteps that are a multiple of N (including
|
|
timestep 0) and on the last timestep of a minimization if the
|
|
minimization converges. Note that this means a dump will not be
|
|
performed on the initial timestep after the dump command is invoked,
|
|
if the current timestep is not a multiple of N. This behavior can be
|
|
changed via the <a class="reference internal" href="dump_modify.html"><em>dump_modify first</em></a> command, which can
|
|
be useful if the dump command is invoked after a minimization ended on
|
|
an arbitrary timestep. N can be changed between runs by using the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="dump_modify.html"><em>dump_modify every</em></a> command. The <a class="reference internal" href="dump_modify.html"><em>dump_modify every</em></a> command also allows a variable to be used to
|
|
determine the sequence of timesteps on which dump files are written.</p>
|

<div class="section" id="restrictions">
|
|
<h2>Restrictions<a class="headerlink" href="#restrictions" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The <em>molfile</em> dump style is part of the USER-MOLFILE package. It is
|
|
only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
|
|
<p>Molfile plugins provide a consistent programming interface to read and
|
|
write file formats commonly used in molecular simulations. The
|
|
USER-MOLFILE package only provides the interface code, not the plugins.
|
|
These can be obtained from a VMD installation which has to match the
|
|
platform that you are using to compile LAMMPS for. By adding plugins
|
|
to VMD, support for new file formats can be added to LAMMPS (or VMD
|
|
or other programs that use them) without having to recompile the
|
|
application itself. The plugins are installed in the directory:
|
|
<VMDHOME>/plugins/<VMDARCH>/molfile</p>
|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|
<p class="last">while the programming interface (API) to the plugins is backward
|
|
compatible, the binary interface (ABI) has been changing over time, so
|
|
it is necessary to compile this package with the plugin header files
|
|
from VMD that match the binary plugins. These header files in the
|
|
directory: <VMDHOME>/plugins/include For convenience, the package ships
|
|
with a set of header files that are compatible with VMD 1.9 and 1.9.1
