<p>Perform constant NVE integration to update position, velocity, and
angular velocity for finite-size spherical particles in the group each
timestep. V is volume; E is energy. This creates a system trajectory
consistent with the microcanonical ensemble.</p>
<p>This fix differs from the <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_nve.html"><spanclass="doc">fix nve</span></a> command, which
assumes point particles and only updates their position and velocity.</p>
<p>If the <em>update</em> keyword is used with the <em>dipole</em> value, then the
orientation of the dipole moment of each particle is also updated
during the time integration. This option should be used for models
where a dipole moment is assigned to finite-size particles,
e.g. spheroids via use of the <aclass="reference internal"href="atom_style.html"><spanclass="doc">atom_style hybrid sphere dipole</span></a> command.</p>
<p>The default dipole orientation integrator can be changed to the
Dullweber-Leimkuhler-McLachlan integration scheme
<aclass="reference internal"href="fix_nh.html#nh-dullweber"><spanclass="std std-ref">(Dullweber)</span></a> when using <em>update</em> with the value
<em>dipole/dlm</em>. This integrator is symplectic and time-reversible,
giving better energy conservation and allows slightly longer timesteps
at only a small additional computational cost.</p>

<p>Styles with a <em>gpu</em>, <em>intel</em>, <em>kk</em>, <em>omp</em>, or <em>opt</em> suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed in <aclass="reference internal"href="Section_accelerate.html"><spanclass="doc">Section 5</span></a>
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
issues.</p>
<p>These accelerated styles are part of the GPU, USER-INTEL, KOKKOS,
USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <aclass="reference internal"href="Section_start.html#start-3"><spanclass="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
<p>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the <aclass="reference internal"href="Section_start.html#start-7"><spanclass="std std-ref">-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the <aclass="reference internal"href="suffix.html"><spanclass="doc">suffix</span></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See <aclass="reference internal"href="Section_accelerate.html"><spanclass="doc">Section 5</span></a> of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>
