<A HREF = "#Kremer">(Kremer)</A>, used for bead-spring polymer models. The first
term is attractive, the 2nd Lennard-Jones term is repulsive.
</P>
<P>The <I>fene/expand</I> bond style is similar to <I>fene</I> except that an extra
shift factor of delta (positive or negative) is added to <I>r</I> to
effectively change the bead size of the bonded atoms. The first term
now extends to R0 + delta and the 2nd term is cutoff at 2^(1/6) sigma
+ delta.

<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each bond type via the
<A HREF = "bond_coeff.html">bond_coeff</A> command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A>

<P>This bond style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
"molecular" package (which it is by default). See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_3">Making
LAMMPS</A> section for more info on packages.
</P>
<P>You typically should specify <A HREF = "special_bonds.html">special_bonds 0 1 1</A>
to use this bond style. LAMMPS will issue a warning it that's not the
case.
