			<HR>

			<A NAME = "howto_1"></A><H4>6.1 Restarting a simulation
			</H4>
			<P>There are 3 ways to continue a long LAMMPS simulation. Multiple
			<A HREF = "run.html">run</A> commands can be used in the same input script. Each
			run will continue from where the previous run left off. Or binary
			restart files can be saved to disk using the <A HREF = "restart.html">restart</A>
			command. At a later time, these binary files can be read via a
			<A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> command in a new script. Or they can
			be converted to text data files and read by a
			<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command in a new script. <A HREF = "Section_tools.html">This
			section</A> discusses the <I>restart2data</I> tool that is
			used to perform the conversion.
			</P>
			<P>Here we give examples of 2 scripts that read either a binary restart
			file or a converted data file and then issue a new run command to
			continue where the previous run left off. They illustrate what
			settings must be made in the new script. Details are discussed in the
			documentation for the <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> and
			<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> commands.
			</P>
			<P>Look at the <I>in.chain</I> input script provided in the <I>bench</I> directory
			of the LAMMPS distribution to see the original script that these 2
			scripts are based on. If that script had the line
			</P>
			<PRE>restart 50 tmp.restart
			</PRE>
			<P>added to it, it would produce 2 binary restart files (tmp.restart.50
			and tmp.restart.100) as it ran.
			</P>
			<P>This script could be used to read the 1st restart file and re-run the
			last 50 timesteps:
			</P>
			<PRE>read_restart tmp.restart.50
			</PRE>
			<PRE>neighbor 0.4 bin
			neigh_modify every 1 delay 1
			</PRE>
			<PRE>fix 1 all nve
			fix 2 all langevin 1.0 1.0 10.0 904297
			</PRE>
			<PRE>timestep 0.012
			</PRE>
			<PRE>run 50
			</PRE>
			<P>Note that the following commands do not need to be repeated because
			their settings are included in the restart file: <I>units, atom_style,
			special_bonds, pair_style, bond_style</I>. However these commands do
			need to be used, since their settings are not in the restart file:
			<I>neighbor, fix, timestep</I>.
			</P>
			<P>If you actually use this script to perform a restarted run, you will
			notice that the thermodynamic data match at step 50 (if you also put a
			"thermo 50" command in the original script), but do not match at step
			100. This is because the <A HREF = "fix_langevin.html">fix langevin</A> command
			uses random numbers in a way that does not allow for perfect restarts.
			</P>
			<P>As an alternate approach, the restart file could be converted to a data
			file using this tool:
			</P>
			<PRE>restart2data tmp.restart.50 tmp.restart.data
			</PRE>
			<P>Then, this script could be used to re-run the last 50 steps:
			</P>
			<PRE>units lj
			atom_style bond
			pair_style lj/cut 1.12
			pair_modify shift yes
			bond_style fene
			special_bonds 0.0 1.0 1.0
			</PRE>
			<PRE>read_data tmp.restart.data
			</PRE>
			<PRE>neighbor 0.4 bin
			neigh_modify every 1 delay 1
			</PRE>
			<PRE>fix 1 all nve
			fix 2 all langevin 1.0 1.0 10.0 904297
			</PRE>
			<PRE>timestep 0.012
			</PRE>
			<PRE>reset_timestep 50
			run 50
			</PRE>
			<P>Note that nearly all the settings specified in the original <I>in.chain</I>
			script must be repeated, except the <I>pair_coeff</I> and <I>bond_coeff</I>
			commands since the new data file lists the force field coefficients.
			Also, the <A HREF = "reset_timestep.html">reset_timestep</A> command is used to tell
			LAMMPS the current timestep. This value is stored in restart files,
			but not in data files.
			</P>
			<HR>

			<A NAME = "howto_2"></A><H4>6.2 2d simulations
			</H4>
			<P>Use the <A HREF = "dimension.html">dimension</A> command to specify a 2d simulation.
			</P>
			<P>Make the simulation box periodic in z via the <A HREF = "boundary.html">boundary</A>
			command. This is the default.
			</P>
			<P>If using the <A HREF = "create_box.html">create box</A> command to define a
			simulation box, set the z dimensions narrow, but finite, so that the
			create_atoms command will tile the 3d simulation box with a single z
			plane of atoms - e.g.
			</P>
			<PRE><A HREF = "create_box.html">create box</A> 1 -10 10 -10 10 -0.25 0.25
			</PRE>
			<P>If using the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read data</A> command to read in a file of
			atom coordinates, set the "zlo zhi" values to be finite but narrow,
			similar to the create_box command settings just described. For each
			atom in the file, assign a z coordinate so it falls inside the
			z-boundaries of the box - e.g. 0.0.
			</P>
			<P>Use the <A HREF = "fix_enforce2d.html">fix enforce2d</A> command as the last
			defined fix to insure that the z-components of velocities and forces
			are zeroed out every timestep. The reason to make it the last fix is
			so that any forces induced by other fixes will be zeroed out.
			</P>
			<P>Many of the example input scripts included in the LAMMPS distribution
			are for 2d models.
			</P>
			<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: Some models in LAMMPS treat particles as extended
			spheres, as opposed to point particles. In 2d, the particles will
			still be spheres, not disks, meaning their moment of inertia will be
			the same as in 3d.
			</P>
			<HR>

			<A NAME = "howto_3"></A><H4>6.3 CHARMM, AMBER, and DREIDING force fields
			</H4>
			<P>A force field has 2 parts: the formulas that define it and the
			coefficients used for a particular system. Here we only discuss
			formulas implemented in LAMMPS that correspond to formulas commonly
			used in the CHARMM, AMBER, and DREIDING force fields. Setting
			coefficients is done in the input data file via the
			<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command or in the input script with
			commands like <A HREF = "pair_coeff.html">pair_coeff</A> or
			<A HREF = "bond_coeff.html">bond_coeff</A>. See <A HREF = "Section_tools.html">this section</A>
			for additional tools that can use CHARMM or AMBER to assign force
			field coefficients and convert their output into LAMMPS input.
			</P>
			<P>See <A HREF = "#MacKerell">(MacKerell)</A> for a description of the CHARMM force
			field. See <A HREF = "#Cornell">(Cornell)</A> for a description of the AMBER force
			field.
			</P>




			<P>These style choices compute force field formulas that are consistent
			with common options in CHARMM or AMBER. See each command's
			documentation for the formula it computes.

			<P>DREIDING is a generic force field developed by the <A HREF = "http://www.wag.caltech.edu">Goddard
			group</A> at Caltech and is useful for
			predicting structures and dynamics of organic, biological and
			main-group inorganic molecules. The philosophy in DREIDING is to use
			general force constants and geometry parameters based on simple
			hybridization considerations, rather than individual force constants
			and geometric parameters that depend on the particular combinations of
			atoms involved in the bond, angle, or torsion terms. DREIDING has an

			<A NAME = "howto_4"></A><H4>6.4 Running multiple simulations from one input script
			</H4>
			<P>This can be done in several ways. See the documentation for
			individual commands for more details on how these examples work.
			</P>
			<P>If "multiple simulations" means continue a previous simulation for
			more timesteps, then you simply use the <A HREF = "run.html">run</A> command
			multiple times. For example, this script
			</P>
			<PRE>units lj
			atom_style atomic
			read_data data.lj
			run 10000
			run 10000
			run 10000
			run 10000
			run 10000
			</PRE>
			<P>would run 5 successive simulations of the same system for a total of
			50,000 timesteps.
			</P>
			<P>If you wish to run totally different simulations, one after the other,
			the <A HREF = "clear.html">clear</A> command can be used in between them to
			re-initialize LAMMPS. For example, this script
			</P>
			<PRE>units lj
			atom_style atomic
			read_data data.lj
			run 10000
			clear
			units lj
			atom_style atomic
			read_data data.lj.new
			run 10000
			</PRE>
			<P>would run 2 independent simulations, one after the other.
			</P>
			<P>For large numbers of independent simulations, you can use
			<A HREF = "variable.html">variables</A> and the <A HREF = "next.html">next</A> and
			<A HREF = "jump.html">jump</A> commands to loop over the same input script
			multiple times with different settings. For example, this
			script, named in.polymer
			</P>
			<PRE>variable d index run1 run2 run3 run4 run5 run6 run7 run8
			shell cd $d
			read_data data.polymer
			run 10000
			shell cd ..
			clear
			next d
			jump in.polymer
			</PRE>
			<P>would run 8 simulations in different directories, using a data.polymer
			file in each directory. The same concept could be used to run the
			same system at 8 different temperatures, using a temperature variable
			and storing the output in different log and dump files, for example
			</P>
			<PRE>variable a loop 8
			variable t index 0.8 0.85 0.9 0.95 1.0 1.05 1.1 1.15
			log log.$a
			read data.polymer
			velocity all create $t 352839
			fix 1 all nvt $t $t 100.0
			dump 1 all atom 1000 dump.$a
			run 100000
			next t
			next a
			jump in.polymer
			</PRE>
			<P>All of the above examples work whether you are running on 1 or
			multiple processors, but assumed you are running LAMMPS on a single
			partition of processors. LAMMPS can be run on multiple partitions via
			the "-partition" command-line switch as described in <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_6">this
			section</A> of the manual.
			</P>
			<P>In the last 2 examples, if LAMMPS were run on 3 partitions, the same
			scripts could be used if the "index" and "loop" variables were
			replaced with <I>universe</I>-style variables, as described in the
			<A HREF = "variable.html">variable</A> command. Also, the "next t" and "next a"
			commands would need to be replaced with a single "next a t" command.
			With these modifications, the 8 simulations of each script would run
			on the 3 partitions one after the other until all were finished.
			Initially, 3 simulations would be started simultaneously, one on each
			partition. When one finished, that partition would then start
			the 4th simulation, and so forth, until all 8 were completed.
			</P>
			<HR>

			<A NAME = "howto_5"></A><H4>6.5 Multi-replica simulations
			</H4>
			<P>Several commands in LAMMPS run mutli-replica simulations, meaning
			that multiple instances (replicas) of your simulation are run
			simultaneously, with small amounts of data exchanged between replicas
			periodically.
			</P>
			<P>These are the relevant commands:
			</P>
			<UL><LI><A HREF = "neb.html">neb</A> for nudged elastic band calculations
			<LI><A HREF = "prd.html">prd</A> for parallel replica dynamics
			<LI><A HREF = "tad.html">tad</A> for temperature accelerated dynamics
			<LI><A HREF = "temper.html">temper</A> for parallel tempering
			</UL>
			<P>NEB is a method for finding transition states and barrier energies.
			PRD and TAD are methods for performing accelerated dynamics to find
			and perform infrequent events. Parallel tempering or replica exchange
			runs different replicas at a series of temperature to facilitate
			rare-event sampling.
			</P>
			<P>These command can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the "replica"
			package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Making LAMMPS</A> section
			for more info on packages.
			</P>
			<P>In all these cases, you must run with one or more processors per
			replica. The processors assigned to each replica are determined at
			run-time by using the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_6">-partition command-line
			switch</A> to launch LAMMPS on multiple
			partitions, which in this context are the same as replicas. E.g.
			these commands:
			</P>
			<PRE>mpirun -np 16 lmp_linux -partition 8x2 -in in.temper
			mpirun -np 8 lmp_linux -partition 8x1 -in in.neb
			</PRE>
			<P>would each run 8 replicas, on either 16 or 8 processors. Note the use
			of the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_6">-in command-line switch</A> to specify
			the input script which is required when running in multi-replica mode.
			</P>
			<P>Also note that with MPI installed on a machine (e.g. your desktop),
			you can run on more (virtual) processors than you have physical
			processors. Thus the above commands could be run on a
			single-processor (or few-processor) desktop so that you can run
			a multi-replica simulation on more replicas than you have
			physical processors.

			<A NAME = "howto_6"></A><H4>6.6 Granular models

			<A NAME = "howto_10"></A><H4>6.10 Coupling LAMMPS to other codes
			</H4>
			<P>LAMMPS is designed to allow it to be coupled to other codes. For
			example, a quantum mechanics code might compute forces on a subset of
			atoms and pass those forces to LAMMPS. Or a continuum finite element
			(FE) simulation might use atom positions as boundary conditions on FE
			nodal points, compute a FE solution, and return interpolated forces on
			MD atoms.
			</P>
			<P>LAMMPS can be coupled to other codes in at least 3 ways. Each has
			advantages and disadvantages, which you'll have to think about in the
			context of your application.
			</P>
			<P>(1) Define a new <A HREF = "fix.html">fix</A> command that calls the other code. In
			this scenario, LAMMPS is the driver code. During its timestepping,
			the fix is invoked, and can make library calls to the other code,
			which has been linked to LAMMPS as a library. This is the way the
			<A HREF = "http://www.rpi.edu/~anderk5/lab">POEMS</A> package that performs constrained rigid-body motion on
			groups of atoms is hooked to LAMMPS. See the
			<A HREF = "fix_poems.html">fix_poems</A> command for more details. See <A HREF = "Section_modify.html">this
			section</A> of the documentation for info on how to add
			a new fix to LAMMPS.
			</P>


			<P>(2) Define a new LAMMPS command that calls the other code. This is
			conceptually similar to method (1), but in this case LAMMPS and the
			other code are on a more equal footing. Note that now the other code
			is not called during the timestepping of a LAMMPS run, but between
			runs. The LAMMPS input script can be used to alternate LAMMPS runs
			with calls to the other code, invoked via the new command. The
			<A HREF = "run.html">run</A> command facilitates this with its <I>every</I> option, which
			makes it easy to run a few steps, invoke the command, run a few steps,
			invoke the command, etc.
			</P>
			<P>In this scenario, the other code can be called as a library, as in
			(1), or it could be a stand-alone code, invoked by a system() call
			made by the command (assuming your parallel machine allows one or more
			processors to start up another program). In the latter case the
			stand-alone code could communicate with LAMMPS thru files that the
			command writes and reads.
			</P>
			<P>See <A HREF = "Section_modify.html">this section</A> of the documentation for how to
			add a new command to LAMMPS.
			</P>
			<P>(3) Use LAMMPS as a library called by another code. In this case the
			other code is the driver and calls LAMMPS as needed. Or a wrapper
			code could link and call both LAMMPS and another code as libraries.
			Again, the <A HREF = "run.html">run</A> command has options that allow it to be
			invoked with minimal overhead (no setup or clean-up) if you wish to do
			multiple short runs, driven by another program.
			</P>
			<P>Examples of driver codes that call LAMMPS as a library are included in
			the "couple" directory of the LAMMPS distribution; see couple/README
			for more details:

			</UL>




			<P><A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_4">This section</A> of the documentation
			describes how to build LAMMPS as a library. Once this is done, you
			can interface with LAMMPS either via C++, C, Fortran, or Python (or
			any other language that supports a vanilla C-like interface). For
			example, from C++ you could create one (or more) "instances" of
			LAMMPS, pass it an input script to process, or execute individual
			commands, all by invoking the correct class methods in LAMMPS. From C
			or Fortran you can make function calls to do the same things. See
			<A HREF = "Section_python.html">this section</A> of the manual for a description of
			the Python wrapper provided with LAMMPS that operates through the
			LAMMPS library interface.
			</P>
			<P>The files src/library.cpp and library.h contain the C-style interface
			to LAMMPS. See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_19">this section</A> of the manual
			for a description of the interface and how to extend it for your
			needs.
			</P>
			<P>Note that the lammps_open() function that creates an instance of
			LAMMPS takes an MPI communicator as an argument. This means that
			instance of LAMMPS will run on the set of processors in the
			communicator. Thus the calling code can run LAMMPS on all or a subset
			of processors. For example, a wrapper script might decide to
			alternate between LAMMPS and another code, allowing them both to run
			on all the processors. Or it might allocate half the processors to
			LAMMPS and half to the other code and run both codes simultaneously
			before syncing them up periodically. Or it might instantiate multiple
			instances of LAMMPS to perform different calculations.

			</P>
			<P>LAMMPS snapshots are created by the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump</A> command which can

			</P>
			<P>LAMMPS can create XYZ files directly (via "dump xyz") which is a

			<A NAME = "howto_12"></A><H4>6.12 Triclinic (non-orthogonal) simulation boxes
			</H4>
			<P>By default, LAMMPS uses an orthogonal simulation box to encompass the
			particles. The <A HREF = "boundary.html">boundary</A> command sets the boundary
			conditions of the box (periodic, non-periodic, etc). The orthogonal
			box has its "origin" at (xlo,ylo,zlo) and is defined by 3 edge vectors
			starting from the origin given by <B>a</B> = (xhi-xlo,0,0); <B>b</B> =
			(0,yhi-ylo,0); <B>c</B> = (0,0,zhi-zlo). The 6 parameters
			(xlo,xhi,ylo,yhi,zlo,zhi) are defined at the time the simluation box
			is created, e.g. by the <A HREF = "create_box.html">create_box</A> or
			<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> or <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A>
			commands. Additionally, LAMMPS defines box size parameters lx,ly,lz
			where lx = xhi-xlo, and similarly in the y and z dimensions. The 6
			parameters, as well as lx,ly,lz, can be output via the <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style
			custom</A> command.
			</P>
			<P>LAMMPS also allows simulations to be perfored in non-orthogonal
			simulation boxes shaped as a parallelepiped with triclinic symmetry.
			The parallelepiped has its "origin" at (xlo,ylo,zlo) and is defined by
			3 edge vectors starting from the origin given by <B>a</B> = (xhi-xlo,0,0); <B>b</B>
			= (xy,yhi-ylo,0); <B>c</B> = (xz,yz,zhi-zlo). <I>Xy,xz,yz</I> can be 0.0 or
			positive or negative values and are called "tilt factors" because they
			are the amount of displacement applied to faces of an originally
			orthogonal box to transform it into the parallelepiped. Note that in
			LAMMPS the triclinic simulation box edge vectors <B>a</B>, <B>b</B>, and <B>c</B> cannot be
			arbitrary vectors. As indicated, <B>a</B> must be aligned with the x axis, <B>b</B>
			must be in the xy plane, and <B>c</B> is arbitrary. However, this is not a
			restriction since it is possible to rotate any set of 3 crystal basis
			vectors so that they meet this restriction.
			</P>
			<P>The 9 parameters (xlo,xhi,ylo,yhi,zlo,zhi,xy,xz,yz) are defined at the
			time the simluation box is created. This happens in one of 3 ways.
			If the <A HREF = "create_box.html">create_box</A> command is used with a region of
			style <I>prism</I>, then a triclinic box is setup. See the
			<A HREF = "region.html">region</A> command for details. If the
			<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command is used to define the simulation
			box, and the header of the data file contains a line with the "xy xz
			yz" keyword, then a triclinic box is setup. See the
			<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command for details. Finally, if the
			<A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> command reads a restart file which
			was written from a simulation using a triclinic box, then a triclinic
			box will be setup for the restarted simulation.
			</P>
			<P>Note that you can define a triclinic box with all 3 tilt factors =
			0.0, so that it is initially orthogonal. This is necessary if the box
			will become non-orthogonal, e.g. due to the <A HREF = "fix_nh.html">fix npt</A> or
			<A HREF = "fix_deform.html">fix deform</A> commands. Alternatively, you can use the
			<A HREF = "change_box.html">change_box</A> command to convert a simulation box from
			orthogonal to triclinic and vice versa.
			</P>
			<P>As with orthogonal boxes, LAMMPS defines triclinic box size parameters
			lx,ly,lz where lx = xhi-xlo, and similarly in the y and z dimensions.
			The 9 parameters, as well as lx,ly,lz, can be output via the
			<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style custom</A> command.
			</P>
			<P>To avoid extremely tilted boxes (which would be computationally
			inefficient), no tilt factor can skew the box more than half the
			distance of the parallel box length, which is the 1st dimension in the
			tilt factor (x for xz). For example, if xlo = 2 and xhi = 12, then
			the x box length is 10 and the xy tilt factor must be between -5 and
			5. Similarly, both xz and yz must be between -(xhi-xlo)/2 and
			+(yhi-ylo)/2. Note that this is not a limitation, since if the
			maximum tilt factor is 5 (as in this example), then configurations
			with tilt = ..., -15, -5, 5, 15, 25, ... are geometrically all
			equivalent.
			</P>
			<P>Triclinic crystal structures are often defined using three lattice
			constants <I>a</I>, <I>b</I>, and <I>c</I>, and three angles <I>alpha</I>, <I>beta</I> and
			<I>gamma</I>. Note that in this nomenclature, the a, b, and c lattice constants
			are the scalar lengths of the edge vectors <B>a</B>, <B>b</B>, and <B>c</B> defined
			above. The
			relationship between these 6 quantities (a,b,c,alpha,beta,gamma) and

			<P>As discussed on the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump</A> command doc page, when the BOX

			</P>
			<PRE>ITEM: BOX BOUNDS xy xz yz
			xlo_bound xhi_bound xy
			ylo_bound yhi_bound xz
			zlo_bound zhi_bound yz
			</PRE>
			<P>This bounding box is convenient for many visualization programs and is

			(xlo,xhi,ylo,yhi,zlo,zhi,xy,xz,yz) as follows:
			</P>
			<PRE>xlo_bound = xlo + MIN(0.0,xy,xz,xy+xz)

			ylo_bound = ylo + MIN(0.0,yz)
			yhi_bound = yhi + MAX(0.0,yz)
			zlo_bound = zlo
			zhi_bound = zhi
			</PRE>
			<P>These formulas can be inverted if you need to convert the bounding box
			back into the triclinic box parameters, e.g. xlo = xlo_bound -
			MIN(0.0,xy,xz,xy+xz).
			</P>
			<P>One use of triclinic simulation boxes is to model solid-state crystals
			with triclinic symmetry. The <A HREF = "lattice.html">lattice</A> command can be

			<P>A second use is to run Parinello-Rahman dyanamics via the <A HREF = "fix_nh.html">fix

			</P>
			<P>A third use is to shear a bulk solid to study the response of the

			<HR>

			<A NAME = "howto_13"></A><H4>6.13 NEMD simulations

			</P>
			<P>A shear strain can be applied to the simulation box at a desired

			by subtracting out the streaming velocity of the shearing atoms. The
			velocity profile or other properties of the fluid can be monitored via
			the <A HREF = "fix_ave_spatial.html">fix ave/spatial</A> command.
			</P>
			<P>As discussed in the previous section on non-orthogonal simulation
			boxes, the amount of tilt or skew that can be applied is limited by
			LAMMPS for computational efficiency to be 1/2 of the parallel box
			length. However, <A HREF = "fix_deform.html">fix deform</A> can continuously strain

			</P>
			<P>In a NEMD simulation, the "remap" option of <A HREF = "fix_deform.html">fix

			<A NAME = "howto_14"></A><H4>6.14 Extended spherical and aspherical particles
			</H4>
			<P>Typical MD models treat atoms or particles as point masses.
			Sometimes, however, it is desirable to have a model with finite-size
			particles such as spheres or aspherical ellipsoids. The difference is
			that such particles have a moment of inertia, rotational energy, and
			angular momentum. Rotation is induced by torque from interactions
			with other particles.
			</P>
			<P>LAMMPS has several options for running simulations with these kinds of
			particles. The following aspects are discussed in turn:
			</P>
			<UL><LI>atom styles
			<LI>pair potentials
			<LI>time integration
			<LI>computes, thermodynamics, and dump output
			<LI>rigid bodies composed of extended particles
			</UL>
			<H5>Atom styles
			</H5>
			<P>There are 2 <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom styles</A> that allow for definition of
			finite-size particles: sphere and ellipsoid. The peri atom style also
			treats particles as having a volume, but that is internal to the
			<A HREF = "pair_peri.html">pair_style peri</A> potentials. The dipole atom style is
			most often used in conjunction with finite-size particles.
			</P>
			<P>The sphere style defines particles that are spheriods and each
			particle can have a unique diameter and mass (or density). These
			particles store an angular velocity (omega) and can be acted upon by
			torque. The "set" command can be used to modify the diameter and mass
			of individual particles, after then are created.
			</P>
			<P>The ellipsoid style defines particles that are ellipsoids and thus can
			be aspherical. Each particle has a shape, specified by 3 diameters,
			and mass (or density). These particles store an angular momentum and
			their orientation (quaternion), and can be acted upon by torque. They
			do not store an angular velocity (omega), which can be in a different
			direction than angular momentum, rather they compute it as needed.
			The "set" command can be used to modify the diameter, orientation, and
			mass of individual particles, after then are created. It also has a
			brief explanation of what quaternions are.
			</P>
			<P>The dipole style does not define extended particles, but is often
			used in conjunction with spherical particles, via a command like
			</P>
			<PRE>atom_style hybrid sphere dipole
			</PRE>
			<P>This is because when dipoles interact with each other, they induce
			torques, and a particle must be extended (i.e. have a moment of
			inertia) in order to respond and rotate. See the <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style
			dipole</A> command for details. The "set" command can be
			used to modify the orientation and length of the dipole moment of
			individual particles, after then are created.
			</P>
			<P>Note that if one of these atom styles is used (or multiple styles via
			the <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style hybrid</A> command), not all particles in
			the system are required to be finite-size or aspherical. For example,
			if the 3 shape parameters are set to the same value, the particle will
			be a sphere rather than an ellipsoid. If the 3 shape parameters are
			all set to 0.0 or if the diameter is set to 0.0, it will be a point
			particle. If the length of the dipole moment is set to zero, the
			particle will not have a point dipole associated with it. The pair
			styles used to compute pairwise interactions will typically compute
			the correct interaction in these simplified (cheaper) cases.
			<A HREF = "pair_hybrid.html">Pair_style hybrid</A> can be used to insure the correct
			interactions are computed for the appropriate style of interactions.
			Likewise, using groups to partition particles (ellipsoids versus
			spheres versus point particles) will allow you to use the appropriate
			time integrators and temperature computations for each class of
			particles. See the doc pages for various commands for details.
			</P>
			<P>Also note that for <A HREF = "dimension.html">2d simulations</A>, finite-size
			spheres and ellipsoids are still treated as 3d particles, rather than
			as circular disks or ellipses. This means they have the same moment

			2d versus 3d system.

			<H5>Time integration

			fix nve/sphere or fix nve/asphere, such as fix langevin or fix
			temp/berendsen, but those thermostats only operate on the

			<P>These include rotational degrees of freedom in their computation. If

			that only includes translational degrees of freedom. See the
			<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command for details.
			</P>
			<P>The <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A> command can output various attributes of
			extended particles, including the dipole moment (mu), the angular

			(quat), and the torque (tq) on the particle.
			</P>
			<H5>Rigid bodies composed of extended particles
			</H5>
			<P>The <A HREF = "fix_rigid.html">fix rigid</A> command treats a collection of

			</P>
			<P>If any of the constituent particles of a rigid body are extended
			particles (spheres or ellipsoids), then their contribution to the
			inertia tensor of the body is different than if they were point
			particles. This means the rotational dynamics of the rigid body will
			be different. Thus a model of a dimer is different if the dimer
			consists of two point masses versus two extended sphereoids, even if
			the two particles have the same mass. Extended particles that

			<P>There are four basic kinds of LAMMPS output:

			<UL><LI><A HREF = "thermo_style.html">Thermodynamic output</A>, which is a list

			<LI><A HREF = "dump.html">Dump files</A>, which contain snapshots of atoms and various

			<LI><A HREF = "restart.html">Restart files</A>.
			</UL>
			<P>A simulation prints one set of thermodynamic output and (optionally)
			restart files. It can generate any number of dump files and fix
			output files, depending on what <A HREF = "dump.html">dump</A> and <A HREF = "fix.html">fix</A>
			commands you specify.
			</P>
			<P>As discussed below, LAMMPS gives you a variety of ways to determine
			what quantities are computed and printed when the thermodynamics,
			dump, or fix commands listed above perform output. Throughout this
			discussion, note that users can also <A HREF = "Section_modify.html">add their own computes and fixes
			to LAMMPS</A> which can then generate values that can
			then be output with these commands.
			</P>
			<P>The following sub-sections discuss different LAMMPS command related
			to output and the kind of data they operate on and produce:
			</P>
			<UL><LI><A HREF = "#global">Global/per-atom/local data</A>

			<LI><A HREF = "#table">Summary table of output options and data flow between commands</A>
			</UL>
			<H5><A NAME = "global"></A>Global/per-atom/local data
			</H5>
			<P>Various output-related commands work with three different styles of
			data: global, per-atom, or local. A global datum is one or more
			system-wide values, e.g. the temperature of the system. A per-atom
			datum is one or more values per atom, e.g. the kinetic energy of each
			atom. Local datums are calculated by each processor based on the
			atoms it owns, but there may be zero or more per atom, e.g. a list of
			bond distances.
			</P>
			<H5><A NAME = "scalar"></A>Scalar/vector/array data
			</H5>
			<P>Global, per-atom, and local datums can each come in three kinds: a
			single scalar value, a vector of values, or a 2d array of values. The
			doc page for a "compute" or "fix" or "variable" that generates data
			will specify both the style and kind of data it produces, e.g. a
			per-atom vector.
			</P>
			<P>When a quantity is accessed, as in many of the output commands
			discussed below, it can be referenced via the following bracket
			notation, where ID in this case is the ID of a compute. The leading
			"c_" would be replaced by "f_" for a fix, or "v_" for a variable:
			</P>
			<DIV ALIGN=center><TABLE BORDER=1 >
			<TR><TD >c_ID </TD><TD > entire scalar, vector, or array</TD></TR>
			<TR><TD >c_ID[I] </TD><TD > one element of vector, one column of array</TD></TR>
			<TR><TD >c_ID[I][J] </TD><TD > one element of array
			</TD></TR></TABLE></DIV>

			<P>In other words, using one bracket reduces the dimension of the data
			once (vector -> scalar, array -> vector). Using two brackets reduces
			the dimension twice (array -> scalar). Thus a command that uses
			scalar values as input can typically also process elements of a vector
			or array.
			</P>

			<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command also specifies what values
			are calculated and written out. Pre-defined keywords can be specified
			(e.g. press, etotal, etc). Three additional kinds of keywords can

			</P>
			<P>There is also a <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A> format where the user

			</P>
			<P>There is also a <A HREF = "dump.html">dump local</A> format where the user specifies

			<A NAME = "howto_16"></A><H4>6.16 Thermostatting, barostatting, and computing temperature
			</H4>
			<P>Thermostatting means controlling the temperature of particles in an MD
			simulation. Barostatting means controlling the pressure. Since the
			pressure includes a kinetic component due to particle velocities, both
			these operations require calculation of the temperature. Typically a
			target temperature (T) and/or pressure (P) is specified by the user,
			and the thermostat or barostat attempts to equilibrate the system to
			the requested T and/or P.
			</P>
			<P>Temperature is computed as kinetic energy divided by some number of
			degrees of freedom (and the Boltzmann constant). Since kinetic energy
			is a function of particle velocity, there is often a need to
			distinguish between a particle's advection velocity (due to some
			aggregate motiion of particles) and its thermal velocity. The sum of
			the two is the particle's total velocity, but the latter is often what
			is wanted to compute a temperature.
			</P>
			<P>LAMMPS has several options for computing temperatures, any of which

			<A NAME = "howto_18"></A><H4>6.18 Elastic constants
			</H4>
			<P>Elastic constants characterize the stiffness of a material. The formal
			definition is provided by the linear relation that holds between the
			stress and strain tensors in the limit of infinitesimal deformation.
			In tensor notation, this is expressed as s_ij = C_ijkl * e_kl, where
			the repeated indices imply summation. s_ij are the elements of the
			symmetric stress tensor. e_kl are the elements of the symmetric strain
			tensor. C_ijkl are the elements of the fourth rank tensor of elastic
			constants. In three dimensions, this tensor has 3^4=81 elements. Using
			Voigt notation, the tensor can be written as a 6x6 matrix, where C_ij
			is now the derivative of s_i w.r.t. e_j. Because s_i is itself a
			derivative w.r.t. e_i, it follows that C_ij is also symmetric, with at
			most 7*6/2 = 21 distinct elements.
			</P>
			<P>At zero temperature, it is easy to estimate these derivatives by
			deforming the cell in one of the six directions using the command
			<A HREF = "displace_box.html">displace_box</A> and measuring the change in the

			the cell volume undergoes a finite deformation. In order to balance
			the systematic and statistical errors in this method, the magnitude of
			the deformation must be chosen judiciously, and care must be taken to
			fully equilibrate the deformed cell before sampling the stress
			tensor. Another approach is to sample the triclinic cell fluctuations

			</P>
			<P>All of these methodologies use a C-style interface to LAMMPS that is
			provided in the files src/library.cpp and src/library.h. The
			functions therein have a C-style argument list, but contain C++ code
			you could write yourself in a C++ application that was invoking LAMMPS
			directly. The C++ code in the functions illustrates how to invoke
			internal LAMMPS operations. Note that LAMMPS classes are defined
			within a LAMMPS namespace (LAMMPS_NS) if you use them from another C++
			application.
			</P>
			<P>Library.cpp contains these 4 functions:
			</P>
			<PRE>void lammps_open(int, char , MPI_Comm, void );
			void lammps_close(void *);
			void lammps_file(void , char );
			char lammps_command(void , char *);
			</PRE>
			<P>The lammps_open() function is used to initialize LAMMPS, passing in a
			list of strings as if they were <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_6">command-line
			arguments</A> when LAMMPS is run in
			stand-alone mode from the command line, and a MPI communicator for
			LAMMPS to run under. It returns a ptr to the LAMMPS object that is
			created, and which is used in subsequent library calls. The
			lammps_open() function can be called multiple times, to create
			multiple instances of LAMMPS.
			</P>
			<P>LAMMPS will run on the set of processors in the communicator. This
			means the calling code can run LAMMPS on all or a subset of
			processors. For example, a wrapper script might decide to alternate
			between LAMMPS and another code, allowing them both to run on all the
			processors. Or it might allocate half the processors to LAMMPS and
			half to the other code and run both codes simultaneously before
			syncing them up periodically. Or it might instantiate multiple
			instances of LAMMPS to perform different calculations.
			</P>
			<P>The lammps_close() function is used to shut down an instance of LAMMPS
			and free all its memory.
			</P>
			<P>The lammps_file() and lammps_command() functions are used to pass a
			file or string to LAMMPS as if it were an input script or single
			command in an input script. Thus the calling code can read or
			generate a series of LAMMPS commands one line at a time and pass it
			thru the library interface to setup a problem and then run it,
			interleaving the lammps_command() calls with other calls to extract
			information from LAMMPS, perform its own operations, or call another
			code's library.
			</P>
			<P>Other useful functions are also included in library.cpp. For example:
			</P>
			<PRE>void lammps_extract_global(void , char *)

			void lammps_extract_compute(void , char *, int, int)

			int lammps_get_natoms(void *)
			void lammps_get_coords(void , double )
			void lammps_put_coords(void , double )
			</PRE>
			<P>These can extract various global or per-atom quantities from LAMMPS as
			well as values calculated by a compute, fix, or variable. The "get"
			and "put" operations can retrieve and reset atom coordinates.
			See the library.cpp file and its associated header file library.h for
			details.
			</P>
			<P>The key idea of the library interface is that you can write any
			functions you wish to define how your code talks to LAMMPS and add
			them to src/library.cpp and src/library.h, as well as to the <A HREF = "Section_python.html">Python
			interface</A>. The routines you add can access
			or change any LAMMPS data you wish. The couple and python directories
			have example C++ and C and Python codes which show how a driver code
			can link to LAMMPS as a library, run LAMMPS on a subset of processors,
			grab data from LAMMPS, change it, and put it back into LAMMPS.
