[Description:]
Set the style and content for printing thermodynamic data to the
screen and log file.
Style {one} prints a one-line summary of thermodynamic info that is
the equivalent of "thermo_style custom step temp epair emol etotal
press". The line contains only numeric values.
Style {multi} prints a multiple-line listing of thermodynamic info
that is the equivalent of "thermo_style custom etotal ke temp pe ebond
eangle edihed eimp evdwl ecoul elong press". The listing contains
numeric values and a string ID for each quantity.
Style {custom} is the most general setting and allows you to specify
which of the keywords listed above you want printed on each
thermodynamic timestep. Note that the keywords c_ID, f_ID, v_name are
references to "computes"_compute.html, "fixes"_fix.html, and
equal-style "variables"_variable.html" that have been defined
elsewhere in the input script or can even be new styles which users
have added to LAMMPS (see the "Section_modify"_Section_modify.html
section of the documentation). Thus the {custom} style provides a
flexible means of outputting essentially any desired quantity as a
simulation proceeds.
All styles except {custom} have {vol} appended to their list of
outputs if the simulation box volume changes during the simulation.
The values printed by the various keywords are instantaneous values,
calculated on the current timestep. Time-averaged quantities, which
include values from previous timesteps, can be output by using the
f_ID keyword and accessing a fix that does time-averaging such as the
"fix ave/time"_fix_ave_time.html command.
Options invoked by the "thermo_modify"_thermo_modify.html command can
be used to set the one- or multi-line format of the print-out, the
normalization of thermodynamic output (total values versus per-atom
values for extensive quantities (ones which scale with the number of
atoms in the system), and the numeric precision of each printed value.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you use a "thermo_style" command, all
thermodynamic settings are restored to their default values, including
those previously set by a "thermo_modify"_thermo_modify.html command.
Thus if your input script specifies a thermo_style command, you should
use the thermo_modify command after it.

Several of the thermodynamic quantities require a temperature to be
computed: "temp", "press", "ke", "etotal", "enthalpy", "pxx etc". By
default this is done by using a {temperature} compute which is created
when LAMMPS starts up, as if this command had been issued:
compute thermo_temp all temp :pre
See the "compute temp"_compute_temp.html command for details. Note
that the ID of this compute is {thermo_temp} and the group is {all}.
You can change the attributes of this temperature (e.g. its
degrees-of-freedom) via the "compute_modify"_compute_modify.html
command. Alternatively, you can directly assign a new compute (that
calculates temperature) which you have defined, to be used for
calculating any thermodynamic quantity that requires a temperature.
This is done via the "thermo_modify"_thermo_modify.html command.
Several of the thermodynamic quantities require a pressure to be
computed: "press", "enthalpy", "pxx", etc. By default this is done by
using a {pressure} compute which is created when LAMMPS starts up, as
if this command had been issued:
compute thermo_press all pressure thermo_temp :pre
See the "compute pressure"_compute_pressure.html command for details.
Note that the ID of this compute is {thermo_press} and the group is
{all}. You can change the attributes of this pressure via the
"compute_modify"_compute_modify.html command. Alternatively, you can
directly assign a new compute (that calculates pressure) which you
have defined, to be used for calculating any thermodynamic quantity
that requires a pressure. This is done via the
"thermo_modify"_thermo_modify.html command.
Several of the thermodynamic quantities require a potential energy to
be computed: "pe", "etotal", "ebond", etc. This is done by using a
{pe} compute which is created when LAMMPS starts up, as if this
command had been issued:
compute thermo_pe all pe :pre
See the "compute pe"_compute_pe.html command for details. Note that
the ID of this compute is {thermo_pe} and the group is {all}. You can
change the attributes of this potential energy via the
"compute_modify"_compute_modify.html command.
:line
The kinetic energy of the system {ke} is inferred from the temperature
of the system with 1/2 Kb T of energy for each degree of freedom.
Thus, using different "compute commands"_compute.html for calculating
temperature, via the "thermo_modify temp"_thermo_modify.html command,
may yield different kinetic energies, since different computes that
calculate temperature can subtract out different non-thermal
components of velocity and/or include different degrees of freedom
(translational, rotational, etc).
The potential energy of the system {pe} will include contributions
from fixes if the "fix_modify thermo"_fix_modify.html option is set
for a fix that calculates such a contribution. For example, the "fix
wall/lj93"_fix_wall_lj93 fix calculates the energy of atoms
interacting with the wall. See the doc pages for "individual fixes"
to see which ones contribute.
A long-range tail correction {etail} for the VanderWaal pairwise
energy will be non-zero only if the "pair_modify
tail"_pair_modify.html option is turned on. The {etail} contribution
is included in {evdwl}, {pe}, and {etotal}, and the corresponding tail
correction to the pressure is included in {press} and {pxx}, {pyy},
etc.

The {c_ID} and {c_ID\[I\]} and {c_ID\[I\]\[J\]} keywords allow global
values calculated by a compute to be output. As discussed on the
"compute"_compute.html doc page, computes can calculate global,
per-atom, or local values. Only global values can be referenced by
this command. However, per-atom compute values can be referenced in a
"variable"_variable.html and the variable referenced by thermo_style
custom, as discussed below.
The ID in the keyword should be replaced by the actual ID of a compute
that has been defined elsewhere in the input script. See the
"compute"_compute.html command for details. If the compute calculates
a global scalar, vector, or array, then the keyword formats with 0, 1,
or 2 brackets will reference a scalar value from the compute.
Note that some computes calculate "intensive" global quantities like
temperature; others calculate "extensive" global quantities like
kinetic energy that are summed over all atoms in the compute group.
Intensive quantities are printed directly without normalization by
thermo_style custom. Extensive quantities may be normalized by the
total number of atoms in the simulation (NOT the number of atoms in
the compute group) when output, depending on the "thermo_modify
norm"_thermo_modify.html option being used.
The {f_ID} and {f_ID\[I\]} and {f_ID\[I\]\[J\]} keywords allow global
values calculated by a fix to be output. As discussed on the
"fix"_fix.html doc page, fixes can calculate global, per-atom, or
local values. Only global values can be referenced by this command.
However, per-atom fix values can be referenced in a
"variable"_variable.html and the variable referenced by thermo_style
custom, as discussed below.
The ID in the keyword should be replaced by the actual ID of a fix
that has been defined elsewhere in the input script. See the
"fix"_fix.html command for details. If the fix calculates a global
scalar, vector, or array, then the keyword formats with 0, 1, or 2
brackets will reference a scalar value from the fix.
Note that some fixes calculate "intensive" global quantities like
timestep size; others calculate "extensive" global quantities like
energy that are summed over all atoms in the fix group. Intensive
quantities are printed directly without normalization by thermo_style
custom. Extensive quantities may be normalized by the total number of
atoms in the simulation (NOT the number of atoms in the fix group)
when output, depending on the "thermo_modify norm"_thermo_modify.html
option being used.
The {v_name} keyword allow the current value of a variable to be
output. The name in the keyword should be replaced by the actual name
of the variable that has been defined elsewhere in the input script.
Only equal-style variables can be referenced. See the
"variable"_variable.html command for details. Variables of style
{equal} can reference per-atom properties or thermodynamic keywords,
or they can invoke other computes, fixes, or variables when evaluated,
so this is a very general means of creating thermodynamic output.
See "this section"_Section_modify.html for information on how to add
new compute and fix styles to LAMMPS to calculate quantities that can
then be referenced with these keywords to generate thermodynamic
output.
