|
|
<p>Apply a spring force independently to each atom in the group to tether
|
|
it to its initial position. The initial position for each atom is its
|
|
location at the time the fix command was issued. At each timestep,
|
|
the magnitude of the force on each atom is -Kr, where r is the
|
|
displacement of the atom from its current position to its initial
|
|
position. The distance r correctly takes into account any crossings
|
|
of periodic boundary by the atom since it was in its intitial
|
|
position.</p>
|
|
<p>With the (optional) dir flag, one can select in which direction the
|
|
spring force is applied. By default, the restraint is applied in all
|
|
directions, but it can be limited to the xy-, xz-, yz-plane and the
|
|
x-, y-, or z-direction, thus restraining the atoms to a line or a
|
|
plane, respectively.</p>

|
|
<p>This fix writes the original coordinates of tethered atoms to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><em>binary restart files</em></a>, so that the spring effect will be the
|
|
same in a restarted simulation. See the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><em>read_restart</em></a> command for info on how to re-specify
|
|
a fix in an input script that reads a restart file, so that the
|
|
operation of the fix continues in an uninterrupted fashion.</p>
|
|
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><em>fix_modify</em></a> <em>energy</em> option is supported by this
|
|
fix to add the energy stored in the per-atom springs to the system’s
|
|
potential energy as part of <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><em>thermodynamic output</em></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>This fix computes a global scalar which can be accessed by various
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span>output commands</span></a>. The scalar is an
|
|
energy which is the sum of the spring energy for each atom, where the
|
|
per-atom energy is 0.5 * K * r^2. The scalar value calculated by this
|
|
fix is “extensive”.</p>
|
|
<p>No parameter of this fix can be used with the <em>start/stop</em> keywords of
|
|
the <a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><em>run</em></a> command.</p>
|
|
<p>The forces due to this fix are imposed during an energy minimization,
|
|
invoked by the <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><em>minimize</em></a> command.</p>
