<p>If a Bonds section is specified then the Special Bond Counts and
Special Bonds sections can also be used, if desired, to explicitly
list the 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 neighbors within the molecule topology (see
details below). This is optional since if these sections are not
included, LAMMPS will auto-generate this information. Note that
LAMMPS uses this info to properly exclude or weight bonded pairwise
interactions between bonded atoms. See the
<a class="reference internal" href="special_bonds.html"><span class="doc">special_bonds</span></a> command for more details. One
reason to list the special bond info explicitly is for the
<a class="reference internal" href="tutorial_drude.html"><span class="doc">thermalized Drude oscillator model</span></a> which treats
the bonds between nuclear cores and Drude electrons in a different
manner.</p>
<div class="admonition note">

<p class="last">Whether a section is required depends on how the molecule
template is used by other LAMMPS commands. For example, to add a
molecule via the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_deposit.html"><span class="doc">fix deposit</span></a> command, the Coords
and Types sections are required. To add a rigid body via the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_pour.html"><span class="doc">fix pour</span></a> command, the Bonds (Angles, etc) sections are not
required, since the molecule will be treated as a rigid body. Some
sections are optional. For example, the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_pour.html"><span class="doc">fix pour</span></a>
command can be used to add “molecules” which are clusters of
finite-size granular particles. If the Diameters section is not
specified, each particle in the molecule will have a default diameter
of 1.0. See the doc pages for LAMMPS commands that use molecule
templates for more details.</p>

<p>Each section is listed below in alphabetic order. The format of each
section is described including the number of lines it must contain and
rules (if any) for whether it can appear in the data file. In each
case the ID is ignored; it is simply included for readability, and
should be a number from 1 to Nlines for the section, indicating which
atom (or bond, etc) the entry applies to. The lines are assumed to be
listed in order from 1 to Nlines, but LAMMPS does not check for this.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p><em>Coords</em> section:</p>

<p>The IDs for the four atoms in each improper should be values from 1 to

<p>N1, N2, N3 are the number of 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 neighbors respectively of
this atom within the topology of the molecule. See the
<a class="reference internal" href="special_bonds.html"><span class="doc">special_bonds</span></a> doc page for more discussion of
1-2, 1-3, 1-4 neighbors. If this section appears, the Special Bonds

<p>A, b, c, d, etc are the IDs of the n1+n2+n3 atoms that are 1-2, 1-3,
1-4 neighbors of this atom. The IDs should be values from 1 to
Natoms, where Natoms = # of atoms in the molecule. The first N1
values should be the 1-2 neighbors, the next N2 should be the 1-3
neighbors, the last N3 should be the 1-4 neighbors. No atom ID should
appear more than once. See the <a class="reference internal" href="special_bonds.html"><span class="doc">special_bonds</span></a> doc

<p>This section is only needed when molecules created using the template
will be constrained by SHAKE via the “fix shake” command. The other
two Shake sections must also appear in the file, following this one.</p>
<p>The meaning of the flag for each atom is as follows. See the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_shake.html"><span class="doc">fix shake</span></a> doc page for a further description of SHAKE
clusters.</p>
<ul class="simple">

<p>This section is only needed when molecules created using the template
will be constrained by SHAKE via the “fix shake” command. The other
two Shake sections must also appear in the file.</p>
<p>The a,b,c,d values are atom IDs (from 1 to Natoms) for all the atoms
in the SHAKE cluster that this atom belongs to. The number of values
that must appear is determined by the shake flag for the atom (see the
Shake Flags section above). All atoms in a particular cluster should
list their a,b,c,d values identically.</p>

(ignored) ID.</p>
<p>If flag = 1, a,b,c are listed, where a = ID of central atom in the
angle, and b,c the other two atoms in the angle.</p>

</ul>
<p>This section is only needed when molecules created using the template
will be constrained by SHAKE via the “fix shake” command. The other
two Shake sections must also appear in the file.</p>
<p>The a,b,c values are bond types (from 1 to Nbondtypes) for all bonds
in the SHAKE cluster that this atom belongs to. The number of values
that must appear is determined by the shake flag for the atom (see the
Shake Flags section above). All atoms in a particular cluster should
list their a,b,c values identically.</p>
<p>If flag = 0, no a,b,c values are listed on the line, just the
(ignored) ID.</p>
<p>If flag = 1, a,b,c are listed, where a = bondtype of the bond between
the central atom and the first non-central atom (value b in the Shake
Atoms section), b = bondtype of the bond between the central atom and
the 2nd non-central atom (value c in the Shake Atoms section), and c =
the angle type (1 to Nangletypes) of the angle between the 3 atoms.</p>
<p>If flag = 2, only a is listed, where a = bondtype of the bond between
the 2 atoms in the cluster.</p>

the central atom and the first non-central atom (value b in the Shake
Atoms section), and b = bondtype of the bond between the central atom
and the 2nd non-central atom (value c in the Shake Atoms section).</p>
<p>If flag = 4, a,b,c are listed, where a = bondtype of the bond between
the central atom and the first non-central atom (value b in the Shake
Atoms section), b = bondtype of the bond between the central atom and
the 2nd non-central atom (value c in the Shake Atoms section), and c =
bondtype of the bond between the central atom and the 3rd non-central
atom (value d in the Shake Atoms section).</p>
