	3. Commands :h3

	This section describes how a LAMMPS input script is formatted and the
	input script commands used to define a LAMMPS simulation.

	3.1 LAMMPS input script :link(cmd_1),h4

	LAMMPS executes by reading commands from a input script (text file),
	one line at a time. When the input script ends, LAMMPS exits. Each
	command causes LAMMPS to take some action. It may set an internal
	variable, read in a file, or run a simulation. Most commands have
	default settings, which means you only need to use the command if you
	wish to change the default.

	In many cases, the ordering of commands in an input script is not
	important. However the following rules apply:

	(1) LAMMPS does not read your entire input script and then perform a
	simulation with all the settings. Rather, the input script is read
	one line at a time and each command takes effect when it is read.
	Thus this sequence of commands:

	timestep 0.5
	run 100
	run 100 :pre

	does something different than this sequence:

	run 100
	timestep 0.5
	run 100 :pre

	In the first case, the specified timestep (0.5 fmsec) is used for two
	simulations of 100 timesteps each. In the 2nd case, the default
	timestep (1.0 fmsec) is used for the 1st 100 step simulation and a 0.5
	fmsec timestep is used for the 2nd one.

	(2) Some commands are only valid when they follow other commands. For
	example you cannot set the temperature of a group of atoms until atoms
	have been defined and a group command is used to define which atoms
	belong to the group.

	(3) Sometimes command B will use values that can be set by command A.
	This means command A must precede command B in the input script if it
	is to have the desired effect. For example, the
	"read_data"_read_data.html command initializes the system by setting
	up the simulation box and assigning atoms to processors. If default
	values are not desired, the "processors"_processors.html and
	"boundary"_boundary.html commands need to be used before read_data to
	tell LAMMPS how to map processors to the simulation box.

	Many input script errors are detected by LAMMPS and an ERROR or
	WARNING message is printed. "This section"_Section_errors.html gives
	more information on what errors mean. The documentation for each
	command lists restrictions on how the command can be used.

	:line

	3.2 Parsing rules :link(cmd_2),h4

	Each non-blank line in the input script is treated as a command.
	LAMMPS commands are case sensitive. Command names are lower-case, as
	are specified command arguments. Upper case letters may be used in
	file names or user-chosen ID strings.

	Here is how each line in the input script is parsed by LAMMPS:

	(1) If the last printable character on the line is a "&" character,
	the command is assumed to continue on the next line. The next line is
	concatenated to the previous line by removing the "&" character and
	line break. This allows long commands to be continued across two or
	more lines. See the discussion of triple quotes in (6) for how to
	continue a command across multiple line without using "&" characters.

	(2) All characters from the first "#" character onward are treated as
	comment and discarded. See an exception in (6). Note that a
	comment after a trailing "&" character will prevent the command from
	continuing on the next line. Also note that for multi-line commands a
	single leading "#" will comment out the entire command.

	(3) The line is searched repeatedly for $ characters, which indicate
	variables that are replaced with a text string. See an exception in
	(6).

	If the $ is followed by curly brackets, then the variable name is the
	text inside the curly brackets. If no curly brackets follow the $,
	then the variable name is the single character immediately following
	the $. Thus $\{myTemp\} and $x refer to variable names "myTemp" and
	"x".

	How the variable is converted to a text string depends on what style
	of variable it is; see the "variable"_variable doc page for details.
	It can be a variable that stores multiple text strings, and return one
	of them. The returned text string can be multiple "words" (space
	separated) which will then be interpreted as multiple arguments in the
	input command. The variable can also store a numeric formula which
	will be evaluated and its numeric result returned as a string.

	As a special case, if the $ is followed by parenthesis, then the text
	inside the parenthesis is treated as an "immediate" variable and
	evaluated as an "equal-style variable"_variable.html. This is a way
	to use numeric formulas in an input script without having to assign
	them to variable names. For example, these 3 input script lines:

	variable X equal (xlo+xhi)/2+sqrt(v_area)
	region 1 block $X 2 INF INF EDGE EDGE
	variable X delete :pre

	can be replaced by

	region 1 block $((xlo+xhi)/2+sqrt(v_area)) 2 INF INF EDGE EDGE :pre

	so that you do not have to define (or discard) a temporary variable X.

	Note that neither the curly-bracket or immediate form of variables can
	contain nested $ characters for other variables to substitute for.
	Thus you cannot do this:

	variable a equal 2
	variable b2 equal 4
	print "B2 = $\{b$a\}" :pre

	Nor can you specify this $($x-1.0) for an immediate variable, but
	you could use $(v_x-1.0), since the latter is valid syntax for an
	"equal-style variable"_variable.html.

	See the "variable"_variable.html command for more details of how
	strings are assigned to variables and evaluated, and how they can be
	used in input script commands.

	(4) The line is broken into "words" separated by whitespace (tabs,
	spaces). Note that words can thus contain letters, digits,
	underscores, or punctuation characters.

	(5) The first word is the command name. All successive words in the
	line are arguments.

	(6) If you want text with spaces to be treated as a single argument,
	it can be enclosed in either single or double or triple quotes. A
	long single argument enclosed in single or double quotes can span
	multiple lines if the "&" character is used, as described above. When
	the lines are concatenated together (and the "&" characters and line
	breaks removed), the text will become a single line. If you want
	multiple lines of an argument to retain their line breaks, the text
	can be enclosed in triple quotes, in which case "&" characters are not
	needed. For example:

	print "Volume = $v"
	print 'Volume = $v'
	if "$\{steps\} > 1000" then quit
	variable a string "red green blue &
	purple orange cyan"
	print """
	System volume = $v
	System temperature = $t
	""" :pre

	In each case, the single, double, or triple quotes are removed when
	the single argument they enclose is stored internally.

	See the "dump modify format"_dump_modify.html, "print"_print.html,
	"if"_if.html, and "python"_python.html commands for examples.

	A "#" or "$" character that is between quotes will not be treated as a
	comment indicator in (2) or substituted for as a variable in (3).

	NOTE: If the argument is itself a command that requires a quoted
	argument (e.g. using a "print"_print.html command as part of an
	"if"_if.html or "run every"_run.html command), then single, double, or
	triple quotes can be nested in the usual manner. See the doc pages
	for those commands for examples. Only one of level of nesting is
	allowed, but that should be sufficient for most use cases.

	3.3 Input script structure :h4,link(cmd_3)

	This section describes the structure of a typical LAMMPS input script.
	The "examples" directory in the LAMMPS distribution contains many
	sample input scripts; the corresponding problems are discussed in
	"Section_example"_Section_example.html, and animated on the "LAMMPS
	WWW Site"_lws.

	A LAMMPS input script typically has 4 parts:

	Initialization
	Atom definition
	Settings
	Run a simulation :ol

	The last 2 parts can be repeated as many times as desired. I.e. run a
	simulation, change some settings, run some more, etc. Each of the 4
	parts is now described in more detail. Remember that almost all the
	commands need only be used if a non-default value is desired.

	(1) Initialization

	Set parameters that need to be defined before atoms are created or
	read-in from a file.

	The relevant commands are "units"_units.html,
	"dimension"_dimension.html, "newton"_newton.html,
	"processors"_processors.html, "boundary"_boundary.html,
	"atom_style"_atom_style.html, "atom_modify"_atom_modify.html.

	If force-field parameters appear in the files that will be read, these
	commands tell LAMMPS what kinds of force fields are being used:
	"pair_style"_pair_style.html, "bond_style"_bond_style.html,
	"angle_style"_angle_style.html, "dihedral_style"_dihedral_style.html,
	"improper_style"_improper_style.html.

	(2) Atom definition

	There are 3 ways to define atoms in LAMMPS. Read them in from a data
	or restart file via the "read_data"_read_data.html or
	"read_restart"_read_restart.html commands. These files can contain
	molecular topology information. Or create atoms on a lattice (with no
	molecular topology), using these commands: "lattice"_lattice.html,
	"region"_region.html, "create_box"_create_box.html,
	"create_atoms"_create_atoms.html. The entire set of atoms can be
	duplicated to make a larger simulation using the
	"replicate"_replicate.html command.

	(3) Settings

	Once atoms and molecular topology are defined, a variety of settings
	can be specified: force field coefficients, simulation parameters,
	output options, etc.

	Force field coefficients are set by these commands (they can also be
	set in the read-in files): "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html,
	"bond_coeff"_bond_coeff.html, "angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html,
	"dihedral_coeff"_dihedral_coeff.html,
	"improper_coeff"_improper_coeff.html,
	"kspace_style"_kspace_style.html, "dielectric"_dielectric.html,
	"special_bonds"_special_bonds.html.

	Various simulation parameters are set by these commands:
	"neighbor"_neighbor.html, "neigh_modify"_neigh_modify.html,
	"group"_group.html, "timestep"_timestep.html,
	"reset_timestep"_reset_timestep.html, "run_style"_run_style.html,
	"min_style"_min_style.html, "min_modify"_min_modify.html.

	Fixes impose a variety of boundary conditions, time integration, and
	diagnostic options. The "fix"_fix.html command comes in many flavors.

	Various computations can be specified for execution during a
	simulation using the "compute"_compute.html,
	"compute_modify"_compute_modify.html, and "variable"_variable.html
	commands.

	Output options are set by the "thermo"_thermo.html, "dump"_dump.html,
	and "restart"_restart.html commands.

	(4) Run a simulation

	A molecular dynamics simulation is run using the "run"_run.html
	command. Energy minimization (molecular statics) is performed using
	the "minimize"_minimize.html command. A parallel tempering
	(replica-exchange) simulation can be run using the
	"temper"_temper.html command.
