<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Specify the angle force field coefficients for one or more angle types.
The number and meaning of the coefficients depends on the angle style.
Angle coefficients can also be set in the data file read by the
<a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><span class="doc">read_data</span></a> command or in a restart file.</p>
<p>N can be specified in one of two ways. An explicit numeric value can
be used, as in the 1st example above. Or a wild-card asterisk can be
used to set the coefficients for multiple angle types. This takes the
form &#8220;*&#8221; or &#8220;<em>n&#8221; or &#8220;n</em>&#8221; or &#8220;m*n&#8221;. If N = the number of angle types,
then an asterisk with no numeric values means all types from 1 to N. A
leading asterisk means all types from 1 to n (inclusive). A trailing
asterisk means all types from n to N (inclusive). A middle asterisk
means all types from m to n (inclusive).</p>
<p>Note that using an angle_coeff command can override a previous setting
for the same angle type. For example, these commands set the coeffs
for all angle types, then overwrite the coeffs for just angle type 2:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">angle_coeff</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="mf">200.0</span> <span class="mf">107.0</span> <span class="mf">1.2</span>
<span class="n">angle_coeff</span> <span class="mi">2</span> <span class="mf">50.0</span> <span class="mf">107.0</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>A line in a data file that specifies angle coefficients uses the exact
same format as the arguments of the angle_coeff command in an input
script, except that wild-card asterisks should not be used since
coefficients for all N types must be listed in the file. For example,
under the &#8220;Angle Coeffs&#8221; section of a data file, the line that
corresponds to the 1st example above would be listed as</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="mi">1</span> <span class="mf">300.0</span> <span class="mf">107.0</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="angle_class2.html"><span class="doc">angle_style class2</span></a> is an exception to this
rule, in that an additional argument is used in the input script to
allow specification of the cross-term coefficients. See its
doc page for details.</p>

<p>Here is an alphabetic list of angle styles defined in LAMMPS. Click on
the style to display the formula it computes and coefficients
specified by the associated <a class="reference internal" href="#"><span class="doc">angle_coeff</span></a> command.</p>
<p>Note that there are also additional angle styles submitted by users
which are included in the LAMMPS distribution. The list of these with
links to the individual styles are given in the angle section of <a class="reference internal" href="Section_commands.html#cmd-5"><span class="std std-ref">this page</span></a>.</p>
