# PREREQUISITES: # # 1) You must use moltemplate.sh to create 3 files: # system.data system.in.init system.in.settings # (Follow the instructions in README_setup.sh, or run it using ./README_sh.) # 2) You must equilibrate the system beforehand using "run.in.npt". # This will create the file "system_after_npt.data" which this file reads. # (Note: I have not verified that this equilibration protocol works well.) # # -------- LAMMPS REQUIREMENTS: --------- # 1) This example requires the "USER-MISC" package. (Use "make yes-USER-MISC") # http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/Section_start.html#start_3 # 2) It also may require additional features and bug fixes for LAMMPS. # So, after typing "make yes-user-misc" in to the shell, ... # be sure to download and copy the "additional_lammps_code" from # http://moltemplate.org (upper-left corner menu) # 3) Unpack it # 4) copy the .cpp and .h files to the src folding of your lammps installation. # 5) Compile LAMMPS. # # If LAMMPS complains about an "Invalid pair_style", or "Invalid dihedral_style" # then you made a mistake in the instructions above. # # ------------------------------- Initialization Section -------------------- include system.in.init # ------------------------------- Atom Definition Section ------------------- # Read the coordinates generated by an earlier NPT simulation read_data system_after_npt.data # (The "write_restart" and "read_restart" commands were buggy in 2012, # but they should work also.
