bond_coeff command
</H3>
<P><B>
Syntax:
</B>
</P>
<PRE>
bond_coeff N args
</PRE>
<UL><LI>
N = bond type (see asterik form below)
<LI>
args = coefficients for one or more bond types
</UL>
<P><B>
Examples:
</B>
</P>
<PRE>
bond_coeff 5 80.0 1.2
bond_coeff * 30.0 1.5 1.0 1.0
bond_coeff 1*4 30.0 1.5 1.0 1.0
bond_coeff 1 harmonic 200.0 1.0
</PRE>
<P><B>
Description:
</B>
</P>
<P>
Specify the bond force field coefficients for one or more bond types.
The number and meaning of the coefficients depends on the bond style.
Bond coefficients can also be set in the data file read by the
<A
HREF =
"read_data.html"
>
read_data
</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 asterik can be
used to set the coefficients for multiple bond types. This takes the
form "*" or "*n" or "n*" or "m*n". If N = the number of bond types,
then an asterik with no numeric values means all types from 1 to N. A
leading asterik means all types from 1 to n (inclusive). A trailing
asterik means all types from n to N (inclusive). A middle asterik
means all types from m to n (inclusive).
</P>
<P>
Note that using a bond_coeff command can override a previous setting
for the same bond type. For example, these commands set the coeffs
for all bond types, then overwrite the coeffs for just bond type 2:
</P>
<PRE>
bond_coeff * 100.0 1.2
bond_coeff 2 200.0 1.2
</PRE>
<P>
A line in a data file that specifies bond coefficients uses the exact
same format as the arguments of the bond_coeff command in an input
script, except that wild-card asteriks should not be used since
coefficients for all N types must be listed in the file. For example,
under the "Bond Coeffs" section of a data file, the line that
corresponds to the 1st example above would be listed as

5 80.0 1.2

This command must come after the simulation box is defined by a
<A
HREF =
"read_data.html"
>
read_data
</A>
,
<A
HREF =
"read_restart.html"

, or
<A

command.

<P>
A bond style must be defined before any bond coefficients are set,
either in the input script or in a data file.
