<H3>7. Example problems
</H3>
<P>The LAMMPS distribution includes an examples sub-directory with
several sample problems. Each problem is in a sub-directory of its
own. Most are 2d models so that they run quickly, requiring at most a
couple of minutes to run on a desktop machine. Each problem has an
input script (in.*) and produces a log file (log.*) and dump file
(dump.*) when it runs. Some use a data file (data.*) of initial
coordinates as additional input. A few sample log file outputs on
different machines and different numbers of processors are included in
the directories to compare your answers to. E.g. a log file like
log.crack.foo.P means it ran on P processors of machine "foo".
</P>
<P>For examples that use input data files, many of them were produced by
<A HREF = "http://pizza.sandia.gov">Pizza.py</A> or setup tools described in the
<A HREF = "Section_tools.html">Additional Tools</A> section of the LAMMPS
documentation and provided with the LAMMPS distribution.
</P>
<P>If you uncomment the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump</A> command in the input script, a
text dump file will be produced, which can be animated by various
<A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov/viz.html">visualization programs</A>. It can
also be animated using the xmovie tool described in the <A HREF = "Section_tools.html">Additional
Tools</A> section of the LAMMPS documentation.
</P>
<P>If you uncomment the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump image</A> command in the input
script, and assuming you have built LAMMPS with a JPG library, JPG
snapshot images will be produced when the simulation runs. They can
be quickly post-processed into a movie using commands described on the
<A HREF = "dump_image.html">dump image</A> doc page.
</P>
<P>Animations of many of these examples can be viewed on the Movies
section of the <A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov">LAMMPS WWW Site</A>.

<P>Here is how you might run and visualize one of the sample problems:
</P>
<PRE>cd indent
cp ../../src/lmp_linux . # copy LAMMPS executable to this dir
lmp_linux -in in.indent # run the problem
</PRE>
<P>Running the simulation produces the files <I>dump.indent</I> and
<I>log.lammps</I>. You can visualize the dump file as follows:
</P>
<PRE>../../tools/xmovie/xmovie -scale dump.indent
</PRE>
<P>If you uncomment the <A HREF = "dump_image.html">dump image</A> line(s) in the input
script a series of JPG images will be produced by the run. These can
be viewed individually or turned into a movie or animated by tools
like ImageMagick or QuickTime or various Windows-based tools. See the
<A HREF = "dump_image.html">dump image</A> doc page for more details. E.g. this
Imagemagick command would create a GIF file suitable for viewing in a
browser.
</P>
<PRE>% convert -loop 1 *.jpg foo.gif
</PRE>
<HR>
<P>There is also a COUPLE directory with examples of how to use LAMMPS as
a library, either by itself or in tandem with another code or library.
See the COUPLE/README file to get started.
</P>
<P>There is also an ELASTIC directory with an example script for
computing elastic constants at zero temperature, using an Si example. See
the ELASTIC/in.elastic file for more info.
</P>
<P>There is also an ELASTIC_T directory with an example script for
computing elastic constants at finite temperature, using an Si example. See
the ELASTIC_T/in.elastic file for more info.
</P>
<P>There is also a USER directory which contains subdirectories of
user-provided examples for user packages. See the README files in
those directories for more info. See the
<A HREF = "Section_start.html">Section_start.html</A> file for more info about user
packages.
