Syntax:
fix ID group-ID nve/asphere
Examples:
fix 1 all nve/asphere
Description:
Perform constant NVE integration to update position, velocity, orientation, and angular velocity for aspherical particles in the group each timestep. V is volume; E is energy. This creates a system trajectory consistent with the microcanonical ensemble.
This fix differs from the fix nve command, which assumes point particles and only updates their position and velocity.
Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:
No information about this fix is written to binary restart files. None of the fix_modify options are relevant to this fix. No global scalar or vector or per-atom quantities are stored by this fix for access by various output commands. No parameter of this fix can be used with the start/stop keywords of the run command. This fix is not invoked during energy minimization.
Restrictions:
This fix is part of the "asphere" package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the Making LAMMPS section for more info.
This fix requires that particles be represented as extended ellipsoids and not point particles. This means they will have an angular momentum and a shape which is determined by the shape command.
