<H3>5. 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>The dump files produced by the example runs can be animated using the
xmovie tool described in the <A HREF = "Section_tools.html">Additional Tools</A>
section of the LAMMPS documentation. 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>These are the sample problems in the examples sub-directories:

<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.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>
<HR>
<P>There is also an ELASTIC directory with an example script for
computing elastic constants, using a zero temperature Si example. See
the 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 doc/Section_start.html file
for more info about user packages.
