Description:
</B>
</P>
<P>
Define a computation that calculates the rotational kinetic energy of
a group of aspherical particles. The aspherical particles can be
ellipsoids, or line segments, or triangles. See the
<A
HREF =
"atom_style.html"
>
atom_style
</A>
and
<A
HREF =
"read_data.html"
>
read_data
</A>
commands
for descriptions of these options.
</P>
<P>
For all 3 types of particles, the rotational kinetic energy is
computed as 1/2 I w^2, where I is the inertia tensor for the
aspherical particle and w is its angular velocity, which is computed
from its angular momentum if needed.
</P>
<P>
IMPORTANT NOTE: For
<A
HREF =
"dimension.html"
>
2d models
</A>
, ellipsoidal particles
are treated as ellipsoids, not ellipses, meaning their moments of
inertia will be the same as in 3d.

Output info:

</P>
<P>
This compute calculates a global scalar (the KE). This value can be
used by any command that uses a global scalar value from a compute as
input. See
<A

"Section_howto.html#howto_15"
>

</A>
for an
overview of LAMMPS output options.
</P>
<P>
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "extensive". The
scalar value will be in energy

This compute requires that ellipsoidal particles atoms store a shape
and quaternion orientation and angular momentum as defined by the
<A
HREF =
"atom_style.html"
>
atom_style ellipsoid
</A>
command.
</P>
<P>
This compute requires that line segment particles atoms store a length
and orientation and angular velocity as defined by the
<A
HREF =
"atom_style.html"
>
atom_style
line
</A>
command.
</P>
<P>
This compute requires that triangular particles atoms store a size and
shape and quaternion orientation and angular momentum as defined by
the
<A
HREF =
"atom_style.html"
>
atom_style tri
</A>
command.
</P>
<P>
All particles in the group must be finite-size. They cannot be point
particles.
