			LAMMPS Input Commands</H2>
			<P>
			<A HREF="README.html">Return</A> to top-level of LAMMPS documentation.</P>
			<P>
			This page contains a complete list of valid LAMMPS commands which are
			read-in from an input script. It will be easiest to understand if you
			read it while looking at sample input scripts in the examples
			directory. </P>
			<P>
			The script of input commands is read by LAMMPS, one line at a time.
			Each command causes LAMMPS to take some action. Usually it simply
			causes some internal variable(s) to be set. Or it may cause a data file
			to be read in or a simulation to be run. Note that most commands have
			default settings, which means you only need use a particular command if
			you do not want the default setting.</P>
			<P>
			Each LAMMPS input script contains exactly one "read data" (or
			"read restart") command which defines the problem to be
			simulated. All other commands can be split into three categories: (a)
			commands that (if used) must appear before the "read data"
			command because they define settings needed to correctly read-in the
			problem and allocate memory for it, (b) commands that must appear after
			the "read data" command because they act on the specified
			problem, and (c) commands that can appear either before or after the
			"read data" command. Commands in category (c) are used before
			the "read data" command if a default setting needs to be
			changed before the problem description is read-in. They can be used
			after the "read data" command if the user wishes to change a
			setting before the next "run" or "minimize" command
			is used. Other than these restrictions, commands can generally appear
			in any order in the input script, although some commands require others
			to have been previously specified.</P>
			<P>
			Each LAMMPS input script also contains one or more "run" or
			"minimize" commands. These trigger an actual dynamics or
			minimization computation to be done. Following a run, new commands from
			categories (b) and (c) can be used to change various settings, and
			additional "run" commands can then be used to continue the
			previous simulation. LAMMPS continues to read successive lines from the
			input script until the end-of-file is reached, which causes LAMMPS to
			terminate.</P>
			<P>
			This page gives examples of each command, some of which can be
			specified in multiple styles. Typically the commands take one or more
			parameters. The keyword for each command should begin in the leftmost
			column and all characters in the command and its parameters should be
			in lower-case (except the word NULL or characters in filenames).
			Parameters can be separated by arbitrary numbers of spaces and/or tabs,
			so long as the command fits on one line. The remainder of the line
			after the last parameter is ignored.</P>
			<P>
			The next section outlines the structure of a LAMMPS input script. The
			final section gives a detailed description of the commands in
			alphabetic order, each with its associated parameters and default
			settings.</P>

			the angletype option can only be assigned to a "fix style" of "shake",

			entirely rigid (e.g. water)
			the angletype option enables an additional check when SHAKE constraints
			are computed: if a cluster is of size 3 and both bonds in
			the cluster are of a bondtype specified by the 2nd paramter of
			angletype, then the cluster is SHAKEn with an additional angle
			constraint that makes it rigid, using the equilibrium angle appropriate
			to the specified angletype
			IMPORTANT NOTE: the angletype option has one additional affect, namely
			that no angle forces for any angle of type angletype are computed
			(since it is assumed those angles will be frozen by being SHAKEn), thus
			it will likely cause unintended behavior if the bonds in some atom pairs
			within angles of type angletype do not have the appropriate bondtype,
			since they will not be SHAKEn but neither will the angle force by computed

			an atom can be assigned to multiple constraints, the contraints will be

			all the atoms in the group - thus "k" should represent the total
			force on the group of atoms (not per atom)
			for springforce style, a xyz position of NULL means do not include that
			dimension in the distance or force computation
			for dragforce style, apply a drag force of magnitude f to each atom in the
			group in the direction (r-r0) where r0 = (x,y,z) - do not apply the force if
			the atom is within a distance delta of r0
			for dragforce style, a xyz position of NULL means do not include that
			dimension in the distance or force computation
			for shake style, certain bonds in the system are constrained every timestep
			to be at their equilibrium length, this is done by applying a SHAKE-like
			constraint to the forces on the atoms so that their position at the next
			timestep will preserve the atom separations
			for shake style, only atoms in small clusters can be constrained -
			e.g. water molecules, CH3 groups, but not the C backbone of a
			long polymer chain - a cluster is defined as a central atom
			connected to others in the cluster by constrained bonds connected
			together by constrained bonds - the max size of such a cluster is
			4 atoms to enable easier parallelization
			for shake style, the max iteration count need not be large (e.g. 3) since
			iterations are only done within a cluster and converge quickly
			see the "minimize" command for what constraints are allowed for use
			with the minimizer
			see the "respa" command for how constraints are applied when rRESPA

			invoke 2-d slab Ewald/PPPM and set extended slab volume via this ratio
			2-d slab Ewald/PPPM can be used for a system that is periodic in x-y,

			this ratio dampens inter-slab interactions in the z dimension
			by providing empty volume between slabs and removing
			dipole inter-slab interactions
			ratio value is the size of the extended dimension in z divided by
			the actual dimension in z
			recommended ratio value is 3.0: larger is inefficient, smaller
			risks unwanted inter-slab interactions
			when 2-d slab Ewald/PPPM is used, z-direction periodicity must be
			turned off - e.g. periodicity 0 0 1
			when 2-d slab Ewald/PPPM is used, user must prevent particle migration
			beyond initial z-bounds, typically by providing walls
			2-d slab Ewald/PPPM can only be used only with electrostatically
			neutral systems
			2-d slab Ewald/PPPM can only be used (for the moment) with constant

			enable constant temperature simulations
			use appropriate number of coeffs for a particular style
			all specified temperatures are in temperature units
			target temperature at intermediate points during run is a ramped value
			between the beginning and ending temperatures
			for rescale style, temperature is controlled by explicitly rescaling
			velocities towards the target temperature
			for rescale style, rescaling is only done if current temperature is
			beyond the target temperature plus or minus the window value
			for rescale style, the amount of rescaling is contfolled by the fractional
			amount (0.0 to 1.0), e.g. a value of 0.5 means set the velocities
			to halfway between the current and target temperature
			for rescale style, it can be used as a coarse temperature rescaler,
			for example "rescale 200.0 300.0 100 10.0 1.0" will ramp the temperature
			up during the simulation, resetting it to the target temperatue as needed
			for rescale style, it can be used to create an instantaneous
			drag force that slowly rescales the temperature without oscillation,
			for example "rescale 300.0 300.0 1 0.0 0.0001" will force (or keep)
			the temperature to be 300.0, the time frame over which this occurs
			will become longer as the last parameter is made smaller
			for replace style, Gaussian RNs from the Marsaglia RNG are used
			for langevin style, uniform RNs from the Marsaglia RNG are used
			for replace and langevin styles, the seed is used to initialize the
			Marsaglia RNG, on successive runs the RNG will just continue on
			for replace and langevin styles, generated RNs depend on # of processors
			so will not get same answers independent of # of processors
			for replace and langevin styles, RNG states are not saved in restart file,
			so cannot do an exact restart
			for langevin style, damping parameter means small value -> less damping
			for nose/hoover style, frequency constant is like an inverse
			"piston" mass which determines how rapidly the temperature
			fluctuates in response to a restoring force, large frequency ->
			small mass -> rapid fluctations
			for nose/hoover style, cannot use a end-of-run T of 0.0, must be finite
			for langevin and nose/hoover styles, units of frequency/damping constant are
			inverse time, so a value of 0.01 means relax in a timespan on the
			order of 100 fmsec (real units) or 100 tau (LJ units)
