<PRE>compute ID group-ID property/local input1 input2 ...
</PRE>
<UL><LI>ID, group-ID are documented in <A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> command
<LI>property/local = style name of this compute command

<PRE> patom1, patom2 = IDs of 2 atoms in each pair

btype = bond type of each bond
aatom1, aatom2, aatom3 = IDs of 3 atoms in each angle
atype = angle type of each angle

</PRE>
<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Define a computation that stores the specified attributes as local
data so it can be accessed by other <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">output
commands</A>. If the input attributes refer to
bond information, then the number of datums generated, aggregated
across all processors, equals the number of bonds in the system.
Ditto for pairs, angles, etc.
</P>
<P>If multiple input attributes are specified then they must all generate
the same amount of information, so that the resulting local array has
the same number of rows for each column. This means that only bond
attributes can be specified together, or angle attributes, etc. Bond
and angle attributes can not be mixed in the same compute
property/local command.
</P>
<P>If the inputs are pair attributes, the local data is generated by
looping over the pairwise neighbor list. Info about an individual
pairwise interaction will only be included if both atoms in the pair
are in the specified compute group, and if the current pairwise
distance is less than the force cutoff distance for that interaction,
as defined by the <A HREF = "pair_style.html">pair_style</A> and
<A HREF = "pair_coeff.html">pair_coeff</A> commands.
</P>
<P>If the inputs are bond, angle, etc attributes, the local data is
generated by looping over all the atoms owned on a processor and
extracting bond, angle, etc info. For bonds, info about an individual
bond will only be included if both atoms in the bond are in the
specified compute group. Likewise for angles, dihedrals, etc.
</P>
<P>Note that as atoms migrate from processor to processor, there will be
no consistent ordering of the entries within the local vector or array
from one timestep to the next. The only consistency that is
guaranteed is that the ordering on a particular timestep will be the
same for local vectors or arrays generated by other compute commands.
For example, output from the <A HREF = "compute_bond_local.html">compute
bond/local</A> command can be combined with bond
atom indices from this command and output by the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump
local</A> command in a consistent way.
</P>
<P>The <I>patom1</I> and <I>patom2</I> attributes refer to the atom IDs of the 2
atoms in each pairwise interaction computed by the
<A HREF = "pair_style.html">pair_style</A> command.
</P>
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: For pairs, if two atoms I,J are involved in 1-2, 1-3,
1-4 interactions within the molecular topology, their pairwise
interaction may be turned off, and thus they will not appear in the
neighbor list, and will not be part of the local data created by this
command. More specifically, this is true of I,J pairs with a
weighting factor of 0.0; pairs with a non-zero weighting factor are
included. The weighting factors for 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4 pairwise
interactions are set by the <A HREF = "special_bonds.html">special_bonds</A>
command.
</P>
<P>The <I>batom1</I> and <I>batom2</I> attributes refer to the atom IDs of the 2
atoms in each <A HREF = "bond_style.html">bond</A>. The <I>btype</I> attribute refers to
the type of the bond, from 1 to Nbtypes = # of bond types. The number
of bond types is defined in the data file read by the
<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command. The attributes that start with
"a", "d", "i", refer to similar values for <A HREF = "angle_style.html">angles</A>,
<A HREF = "dihedral_style.html">dihedrals</A>, and <A HREF = "improper_style.html">impropers</A>.
</P>
<P><B>Output info:</B>
</P>
<P>This compute calculates a local vector or local array depending on the
number of input values. The length of the vector or number of rows in
the array is the number of bonds, angles, etc. If a single input is
specified, a local vector is produced. If two or more inputs are
specified, a local array is produced where the number of columns = the
number of inputs. The vector or array can be accessed by any command
that uses local values from a compute as input. See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">this
section</A> for an overview of LAMMPS output
options.
</P>
<P>The vector or array values will be integers that correspond to the
specified attribute.
