# Compute elastic constant tensor for a crystal at finite temperature
#
# WARNING: This script attempts to measure small differences in
# statistical averages generated by finite temperature MD simulations.
# This creates many more opportunities for errors to occur, compared
# to the zero temperature version provided in examples/ELASTIC.
# Hence, it is always a good idea to start with the zero temperature
# calculation, before attempting to use this script.
#
# Written by Aidan Thompson (Sandia, athomps@sandia.gov)
#
# This script uses the following three include files.
#
# init.mod (must be modified for different crystal structures)
# Define units, MD parameters, deformation parameters,
# and initial configuration of the atoms and simulation cell.
#
#
# potential.mod (must be modified for different pair styles)
# Define pair style and other attributes
# not stored in restart file
#
#
# displace.mod (displace.mod should not need to be modified)
# Perform positive and negative box displacements
# in direction ${dir} and size ${up}.
# It uses the resultant changes
# in stress to compute one
# row of the elastic stiffness tensor
#
# Inputs variables:
# dir = the Voigt deformation component
# (1,2,3,4,5,6)
# Global constants:
# up = the deformation magnitude (strain units)
# cfac = conversion from LAMMPS pressure units to
# output units for elastic constants
#
#
# To run this on a different system, it should only be necessary to
# modify the files init.mod and potential.mod. In order to calculate
# the elastic constants correctly, care must be taken to specify
# the correct units in init.mod (units, cfac and cunits). It is also
# important to verify that the MD sampling of stress components
# is generating accurate statistical averages.
# One indication of this is that the elastic constants are insensitive
# to the choice of the variable ${up} in init.mod. Another is to
# check for finite size effects.
