angle_style cosine/squared command :h3
angle_style cosine/squared/omp command :h3
[Syntax:]
angle_style cosine/squared :pre
[Examples:]
angle_style cosine/squared
angle_coeff 2*4 75.0 100.0 :pre
[Description:]
The {cosine/squared} angle style uses the potential
:c,image(Eqs/angle_cosine_squared.jpg)
where theta0 is the equilibrium value of the angle, and K is a
prefactor. Note that the usual 1/2 factor is included in K.
The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
"angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the "read_data"_read_data.html
or "read_restart"_read_restart.html commands:
K (energy)
theta0 (degrees) :ul
Theta0 is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to radians
internally.

Styles with a {cuda}, {gpu}, {omp}, or {opt} suffix are functionally
the same as the corresponding style without the suffix. They have
been optimized to run faster, depending on your available hardware,
as discussed in "this section"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual.
The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the
same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-OMP and OPT
packages, respectively. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with
those packages. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
section for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
switch"_Section_start.html#start_6 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
See "this section"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for more
instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

[Restrictions:]
This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULAR package (which it is by default). See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info on packages.
