# Compute elastic constant tensor for a crystal
#
# 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, 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 minimization of energy w.r.t atom
# positions in the deformed cell is fully converged.
# 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
# the final max and two-norm forces reported in the log file. If you know
# that minimization is not required, you can set maxiter = 0.0 in
# init.mod.
#
# There are two alternate versions of displace.mod provided.
# They are displace_restart.mod and displace_reverse.mod.
# The former resets the box using a restart file while
# the latter reverses the deformation. Copy whichever
# one you like best to displace.mod.
