compute com command :h3
[Syntax:]
compute ID group-ID com :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
com = style name of this compute command :ul
[Examples:]
compute 1 all com :pre
[Description:]
Define a computation that calculates the center-of-mass of the group
of atoms, including all effects due to atoms passing thru periodic
boundaries.
A vector of three quantites is calculated by this compute, which
are the x,y,z coordinates of the center of mass.
NOTE: The coordinates of an atom contribute to the center-of-mass in
"unwrapped" form, by using the image flags associated with each atom.
See the "dump custom"_dump.html command for a discussion of
"unwrapped" coordinates. See the Atoms section of the
"read_data"_read_data.html command for a discussion of image flags and
how they are set for each atom. You can reset the image flags
(e.g. to 0) before invoking this compute by using the "set
image"_set.html command.
[Output info:]
This compute calculates a global vector of length 3, which can be
accessed by indices 1-3 by any command that uses global vector values
from a compute as input. See "this
section"_Section_howto.html#howto_15 for an overview of LAMMPS output
options.
The vector values are "intensive". The vector values will be in
distance "units"_units.html.
[Restrictions:] none

[Default:] none
