bond_style fene/expand command :h3
bond_style fene/expand/omp command :h3
[Syntax:]
bond_style fene/expand :pre
[Examples:]
bond_style fene/expand
bond_coeff 1 30.0 1.5 1.0 1.0 0.5 :pre
[Description:]
The {fene/expand} bond style uses the potential
:c,image(Eqs/bond_fene_expand.jpg)
to define a finite extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) potential
"(Kremer)"_#Kremer, used for bead-spring polymer models. The first
term is attractive, the 2nd Lennard-Jones term is repulsive.
The {fene/expand} bond style is similar to {fene} except that an extra
shift factor of delta (positive or negative) is added to {r} to
effectively change the bead size of the bonded atoms. The first term
now extends to R0 + delta and the 2nd term is cutoff at 2^(1/6) sigma
+ delta.
The following coefficients must be defined for each bond type via the
"bond_coeff"_bond_coeff.html command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the "read_data"_read_data.html
or "read_restart"_read_restart.html commands:
K (energy/distance^2)
R0 (distance)
epsilon (energy)
sigma (distance)
delta (distance) :ul

Styles with a {cuda}, {gpu}, {omp}, or {opt} suffix are functionally
the same as the corresponding style without the suffix. They have
been optimized to run faster, depending on your available hardware, as
discussed in "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html of the
manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should
produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-OMP and OPT
packages, respectively. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with
those packages. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
section for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
switch"_Section_start.html#start_7 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
See "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

[Restrictions:]
This bond style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULAR package (which it is by default). See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info on packages.
You typically should specify "special_bonds fene"_special_bonds.html"
or "special_bonds lj/coul 0 1 1"_special_bonds.html to use this bond
style. LAMMPS will issue a warning it that's not the case.

[Default:] none
