<p>where C, B and n are coefficients defined for each angle type.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="special_bonds.html#mayo"><span>(Mayo)</span></a> for a description of the DREIDING force field</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
<a class="reference internal" href="angle_coeff.html"><em>angle_coeff</em></a> command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the <a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><em>read_data</em></a>
or <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><em>read_restart</em></a> commands:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>C (energy)</li>
<li>B = 1 or -1</li>
<li>n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 for periodicity</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that the prefactor C is specified and not the overall force
constant K = C / n^2. When B = 1, it leads to a minimum for the
linear geometry. When B = -1, it leads to a maximum for the linear
geometry.</p>

<p>Styles with a <em>cuda</em>, <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 <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></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 USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>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 <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-7"><span>-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><em>suffix</em></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></a> of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>

<p>This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULE package (which it is by default). See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info on packages.</p>
