<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Compute and print thermodynamic info (e.g. temperature, energy,
pressure) on timesteps that are a multiple of N and at the beginning
and end of a simulation. A value of 0 will only print thermodynamics
at the beginning and end.</p>
<p>The content and format of what is printed is controlled by the
<a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><span class="doc">thermo_style</span></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="thermo_modify.html"><span class="doc">thermo_modify</span></a> commands.</p>
<p>Instead of a numeric value, N can be specifed as an <a class="reference internal" href="variable.html"><span class="doc">equal-style variable</span></a>, which should be specified as v_name, where
name is the variable name. In this case, the variable is evaluated at
the beginning of a run to determine the next timestep at which
thermodynamic info will be written out. On that timestep, the
variable will be evaluated again to determine the next timestep, etc.
Thus the variable should return timestep values. See the stagger()
and logfreq() and stride() math functions for <a class="reference internal" href="variable.html"><span class="doc">equal-style variables</span></a>, as examples of useful functions to use in
this context. Other similar math functions could easily be added as
options for <a class="reference internal" href="variable.html"><span class="doc">equal-style variables</span></a>.</p>
<p>For example, the following commands will output thermodynamic info at
timesteps 0,10,20,30,100,200,300,1000,2000,etc:</p>
