<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>The <I>cosine/shift/exp</I> angle style uses the potential
</P>
<CENTER><IMG SRC = "Eqs/angle_cosine_shift_exp.jpg">
</CENTER>
<P>where Umin, theta, and a are defined for each angle type.
</P>
<P>The potential is bounded between [-Umin:0] and the minimum is
located at the angle theta0. The a parameter can be both positive or
negative and is used to control the spring constant at the
equilibrium.
</P>
<P>The spring constant is given by k = A exp(A) Umin / [2 (Exp(a)-1)].
For a > 3, k/Umin = a/2 to better than 5% relative error. For negative
values of the a parameter, the spring constant is essentially zero,
and anharmonic terms takes over. The potential is furthermore well
behaved in the limit a -> 0, where it has been implemented to linear
order in a for a < 0.001. In this limit the potential reduces to the
cosineshifted potential.
</P>
<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
<A HREF = "angle_coeff.html">angle_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>
or <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> commands:
</P>
<UL><LI>umin (energy)
<LI>theta (angle)
<LI>A (real number)
</UL>
<P><B>Restrictions:</B>
</P>
<P>This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
"user-misc" package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_3">Making LAMMPS</A>
section for more info on packages.
