compute erotate/rigid command :h3
[Syntax:]
compute ID group-ID erotate/rigid fix-ID :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
erotate/rigid = style name of this compute command
fix-ID = ID of rigid body fix :ul
[Examples:]
compute 1 all erotate/rigid myRigid :pre
[Description:]
Define a computation that calculates the rotational kinetic energy of
a collection of rigid bodies, as defined by one of the "fix
rigid"_fix_rigid.html command variants.
The rotational energy of each rigid body is computed as 1/2 I Wbody^2,
where I is the inertia tensor for the rigid body, and Wbody is its
angular velocity vector. Both I and Wbody are in the frame of
reference of the rigid body, i.e. I is diagonalized.
The {fix-ID} should be the ID of one of the "fix rigid"_fix_rigid.html
commands which defines the rigid bodies. The group specified in the
compute command is ignored. The rotational energy of all the rigid
bodies defined by the fix rigid command in included in the
calculation.
[Output info:]
This compute calculates a global scalar (the summed rotational energy
of all the rigid bodies). This value can be used by any command that
uses a global scalar value from a compute as input. See
"Section_howto 15"_Section_howto.html#howto_15 for an overview of
LAMMPS output options.
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "extensive". The
scalar value will be in energy "units"_units.html.
[Restrictions:]
This compute is part of the RIGID package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
[Related commands:]
"compute ke/rigid"_compute_erotate_ke_rigid.html
[Default:] none
