<H3>4. Packages
</H3>
<P>This section gives a quick overview of the add-on packages that extend
LAMMPS functionality.
</P>
4.1 <A HREF = "#pkg_1">Standard packages</A><BR>
4.2 <A HREF = "#pkg_2">User packages</A> <BR>
<P>LAMMPS includes many optional packages, which are groups of files that
enable a specific set of features. For example, force fields for
molecular systems or granular systems are in packages. You can see
the list of all packages by typing "make package" from within the src
directory of the LAMMPS distribution.
</P>
<P>See <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Section_start 3</A> of the manual for
details on how to include/exclude specific packages as part of the
LAMMPS build process, and for more details about the differences
between standard packages and user packages in LAMMPS.
</P>
<P>Below, the packages currently availabe in LAMMPS are listed. For
standard packages, just a one-line description is given. For user
packages, more details are provided.

<HR>
<H4>USER-ATC package
</H4>
<P>This package implements a "fix atc" command which can be used in a
LAMMPS input script. This fix can be employed to either do concurrent
coupling of MD with FE-based physics surrogates or on-the-fly
post-processing of atomic information to continuum fields.
</P>
<P>See the doc page for the fix atc command to get started. At the
bottom of the doc page are many links to additional documentation
contained in the doc/USER/atc directory.
</P>
<P>There are example scripts for using this package in examples/USER/atc.
</P>
<P>This package uses an external library in lib/atc which must be
compiled before making LAMMPS. See the lib/atc/README file and the
LAMMPS manual for information on building LAMMPS with external
libraries.
</P>
<P>The primary people who created this package are Reese Jones (rjones at
sandia.gov), Jeremy Templeton (jatempl at sandia.gov) and Jon
Zimmerman (jzimmer at sandia.gov) at Sandia. Contact them directly if
you have questions.
</P>
<HR>
<H4>USER-AWPMD package
</H4>
<P>This package contains a LAMMPS implementation of the Antisymmetrized
Wave Packet Molecular Dynamics (AWPMD) method.
</P>
<P>See the doc page for the pair_style awpmd/cut command to get started.
</P>
<P>There are example scripts for using this package in examples/USER/awpmd.
</P>
<P>This package uses an external library in lib/awpmd which must be
compiled before making LAMMPS. See the lib/awpmd/README file and the
LAMMPS manual for information on building LAMMPS with external
libraries.
</P>
<P>The person who created this package is Ilya Valuev at the JIHT in
Russia (valuev at physik.hu-berlin.de). Contact him directly if you
have questions.
</P>
<HR>
<H4>USER-CG-CMM package
</H4>
<P>This package implements 3 commands which can be used in a LAMMPS input
script:
</P>
<UL><LI>pair_style lj/sdk
<LI>pair_style lj/sdk/coul/long
<LI>angle_style sdk
</UL>
<P>These styles allow coarse grained MD simulations with the
parametrization of Shinoda, DeVane, Klein, Mol Sim, 33, 27 (2007)
(SDK), with extensions to simulate ionic liquids, electrolytes, lipids
and charged amino acids.
</P>
<P>See the doc pages for these commands for details.
</P>
<P>There are example scripts for using this package in
examples/USER/cg-cmm.
</P>
<P>This is the second generation implementation reducing the the clutter
of the previous version. For many systems with electrostatics, it will
be faster to use pair_style hybrid/overlay with lj/sdk and coul/long
instead of the combined lj/sdk/coul/long style. since the number of
charged atom types is usually small. For any other coulomb
interactions this is now required. To exploit this property, the use
of the kspace_style pppm/cg is recommended over regular pppm. For all
new styles, input file backward compatibility is provided. The old
implementation is still available through appending the /old
suffix. These will be discontinued and removed after the new
implementation has been fully validated.
</P>
<P>The current version of this package should be considered beta
quality. The CG potentials work correctly for "normal" situations, but
have not been testing with all kinds of potential parameters and
simulation systems.
</P>
<P>The person who created this package is Axel Kohlmeyer at Temple U
(akohlmey at gmail.com). Contact him directly if you have questions.
</P>
<HR>
<H4>USER-COLVARS package
</H4>
<P>This package implements the "fix colvars" command which can be
used in a LAMMPS input script.
</P>
<P>This fix allows to use "collective variables" to implement
Adaptive Biasing Force, Metadynamics, Steered MD, Umbrella
Sampling and Restraints. This code consists of two parts:
</P>
<UL><LI>A portable collective variable module library written and maintained
<LI>by Giacomo Fiorin (ICMS, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA) and
<LI>Jerome Henin (LISM, CNRS, Marseille, France). This code is located in
<LI>the directory lib/colvars and needs to be compiled first. The colvars
<LI>fix and an interface layer, exchanges information between LAMMPS and
<LI>the collective variable module.
</UL>
<P>See the doc page of <A HREF = "fix_colvars.html">fix colvars</A> for more details.
</P>
<P>There are example scripts for using this package in
examples/USER/colvars
</P>
<P>This is a very new interface that does not yet support all
features in the module and will see future optimizations
and improvements. The colvars module library is also available
in NAMD has been thoroughly used and tested there. Bugs and
problems are likely due to the interface layers code.
Thus the current version of this package should be considered
beta quality.

2007.
</P>
<P>eFF can be viewed as an approximation to QM wave packet dynamics and
Fermionic molecular dynamics, combining the ability of electronic
structure methods to describe atomic structure, bonding, and chemistry
in materials, and of plasma methods to describe nonequilibrium
dynamics of large systems with a large number of highly excited
electrons. We classify it as a mixed QM-classical approach rather than
a conventional force field method, which introduces QM-based terms (a
spin-dependent repulsion term to account for the Pauli exclusion
principle and the electron wavefunction kinetic energy associated with
the Heisenberg principle) that reduce, along with classical
electrostatic terms between nuclei and electrons, to the sum of a set
of effective pairwise potentials. This makes eFF uniquely suited to
simulate materials over a wide range of temperatures and pressures
where electronically excited and ionized states of matter can occur
and coexist.
</P>
<P>The necessary customizations to the LAMMPS core are in place to
enable the correct handling of explicit electron properties during

<H4>USER-MOLFILE package
</H4>
<P>This package contains a dump molfile command which uses molfile
plugins that are bundled with the
<A HREF = "http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd">VMD</A> molecular visualization and
analysis program, to enable LAMMPS to dump its information in formats
compatible with various molecular simulation tools.
</P>
<P>The package only provides the interface code, not the plugins. These
can be obtained from a VMD installation which has to match the
platform that you are using to compile LAMMPS for. By adding plugins
to VMD, support for new file formats can be added to LAMMPS (or VMD or
other programs that use them) without having to recompile the
application itself.

<H4>USER-QTB package
</H4>
<P>This package provides a self-consistent quantum treatment of the
vibrational modes in a classical molecular dynamics simulation. By
coupling the MD simulation to a colored thermostat, it introduces zero
point energy into the system, alter the energy power spectrum and the
heat capacity towards their quantum nature. This package could be of
interest if one wants to model systems at temperatures lower than
their classical limits or when temperatures ramp up across the
classical limits in the simulation.

<H4>USER-REAXC package
</H4>
<P>This package contains a implementation for LAMMPS of the ReaxFF force
field. ReaxFF uses distance-dependent bond-order functions to
represent the contributions of chemical bonding to the potential
energy. It was originally developed by Adri van Duin and the Goddard
group at CalTech.
</P>
<P>The USER-REAXC version of ReaxFF (pair_style reax/c), implemented in
C, should give identical or very similar results to pair_style reax,
which is a ReaxFF implementation on top of a Fortran library, a
version of which library was originally authored by Adri van Duin.
</P>
<P>The reax/c version should be somewhat faster and more scalable,
particularly with respect to the charge equilibration calculation. It
should also be easier to build and use since there are no complicating
issues with Fortran memory allocation or linking to a Fortran library.
</P>
<P>For technical details about this implemention of ReaxFF, see
this paper:

and Algorithmic Techniques, H. M. Aktulga, J. C. Fogarty,
S. A. Pandit, A. Y. Grama, Parallel Computing, in press (2011).
