<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Modify one or more parameters of a previously defined fix. Only
specific fix styles support specific parameters. See the doc pages
for individual fix commands for info on which ones support which
fix_modify parameters.</p>
<p>The <em>temp</em> keyword is used to determine how a fix computes
temperature. The specified compute ID must have been previously
defined by the user via the <a class="reference internal" href="compute.html"><em>compute</em></a> command and it must
be a style of compute that calculates a temperature. All fixes that
compute temperatures define their own compute by default, as described
in their documentation. Thus this option allows the user to override
the default method for computing T.</p>
<p>The <em>press</em> keyword is used to determine how a fix computes pressure.
The specified compute ID must have been previously defined by the user
via the <a class="reference internal" href="compute.html"><em>compute</em></a> command and it must be a style of
compute that calculates a pressure. All fixes that compute pressures
define their own compute by default, as described in their
documentation. Thus this option allows the user to override the
default method for computing P.</p>
<p>For fixes that calculate a contribution to the potential energy of the
system, the <em>energy</em> keyword will include that contribution in
thermodynamic output of potential energy. See the
<a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><em>thermo_style</em></a> command for info on how potential
energy is output. The contribution by itself can be printed by using
the keyword f_ID in the thermo_style custom command, where ID is the
fix-ID of the appropriate fix. Note that you must use this setting
for a fix if you are using it when performing an <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><em>energy minimization</em></a> and if you want the energy and forces it
produces to be part of the optimization criteria.</p>
