<H3>fix command
</H3>
<P><B>Syntax:</B>
</P>
<PRE>fix ID group-ID style args
</PRE>
<UL><LI>ID = user-assigned name for the fix
<LI>group-ID = ID of the group of atoms to apply the fix to
<LI>style = one of a long list of possible style names (see below)
<LI>args = arguments used by a particular style
</UL>
<P><B>Examples:</B>
</P>
<PRE>fix 1 all nve
fix 3 all nvt 300.0 300.0 0.01
fix mine top setforce 0.0 NULL 0.0
</PRE>
<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Set a fix that will be applied to a group of atoms. In LAMMPS, a
"fix" is any operation that is applied to the system during
timestepping or minimization. Examples include updating of atom
positions and velocities due to time integration, controlling
temperature, applying constraint forces to atoms, enforcing boundary
conditions, computing diagnostics, etc. There are dozens of fixes
defined in LAMMPS and new ones can be added - see <A HREF = "Section_modify.html">this
section</A> for a discussion.
</P>
<P>Each fix style has its own documentation page which describes its
arguments and what it does. For example, see the <A HREF = "fix_setforce.html">fix
setforce</A> page for information on style <I>setforce</I>.
</P>
<P>Fixes perform their operations at different stages of the timestep.
If 2 or more fixes both operate at the same stage of the timestep,
they are invoked in the order they were specified in the input script.
</P>
<P>Specifying a new fix with the same ID as an existing fix effectively
replaces the old fix (and its parameters) with the new fix. This can
only be done if the new fix has the same style as the existing fix.
</P>
<P>Fixes can be deleted with the <A HREF = "unfix.html">unfix</A> command. Note that
this is the only way to turn off a fix; simply specifying a new fix
with a similar style will not turn off the first one. For example,
using a "fix nve" command for a second run after using a "fix nvt"
command for the first run, will not cancel out the NVT time
integration invoked by the "fix nvt" command. Thus two time
integrators would be in place!
