<p>Define a global cutoff length for the purpose of building a neighbor
list and acquiring ghost atoms, but do not compute any pairwise
forces.</p>
<p>This can be useful for fixes or computes which require a neighbor list
to enumerate pairs of atoms within some cutoff distance, but when
pairwise forces are not otherwise needed. Examples are the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_bond_create.html"><em>fix bond/create</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="compute_rdf.html"><em>compute rdf</em></a>,
