<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Create a computation that will be performed on a group of atoms.
</P>
<P>In LAMMPS, a "compute" is used in several ways. Computes that
calculate one or more values for the entire group of atoms can output
those values via the <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style custom</A> or <A HREF = "fix_ave_time.html">fix
ave/time</A> command. Or the values can be referenced
in a <A HREF = "variable.html">variable equal</A> command. Computes that calculate
a temperature or pressure are used by fixes that do thermostatting or
barostatting and when atom velocities are created. Computes that
calculate one or more values for each atom in the group can output
those values via the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A> command or the <A HREF = "fix_ave_spatial.html">fix
ave/spatial</A> command.
</P>
<P>LAMMPS creates its own computes for thermodynamic output and dumping
atom snapshots. Likewise fixes that compute temperature or pressure
create their own computes. These are discussed in the documentation
for <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A>, <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A>, and
specific <A HREF = "fix.html">fix</A> commands.
</P>
<P>In all these cases, the default computes can be replaced by computes
defined in the input script, as described by the
<A HREF = "thermo_modify.html">thermo_modify</A> and <A HREF = "fix_modify.html">fix modify</A>
commands. Code for new computes can also be added to LAMMPS (see
<A HREF = "Section_modify.html">this section</A> of the manaul) and their
calculations accessed in the various ways described above.
</P>
<P>Properties of a compute can be modified via the
<A HREF = "compute_modify.html">compute_modify</A> command.
</P>
<P>Compute can be deleted with the <A HREF = "uncompute.html">uncompute</A> command.
</P>
<P>Each compute style has its own doc page which describes its arguments
and what it does. Here is an alphabetic list of compute styles
defined in LAMMPS:
</P>
<UL><LI><A HREF = "compute_centro_atom.html">centro/atom</A> - centro-symmetry parameter for each atom
