Errors
======
This section describes the errors you can encounter when using LAMMPS,
either conceptually, or as printed out by the program.

.. _err_1:
Common problems
---------------
If two LAMMPS runs do not produce the same answer on different
machines or different numbers of processors, this is typically not a
bug. In theory you should get identical answers on any number of
processors and on any machine. In practice, numerical round-off can
cause slight differences and eventual divergence of molecular dynamics
phase space trajectories within a few 100s or few 1000s of timesteps.
However, the statistical properties of the two runs (e.g. average
energy or temperature) should still be the same.
If the :doc:`velocity <velocity>` command is used to set initial atom
velocities, a particular atom can be assigned a different velocity
when the problem is run on a different number of processors or on
different machines. If this happens, the phase space trajectories of
the two simulations will rapidly diverge. See the discussion of the
*loop* option in the :doc:`velocity <velocity>` command for details and
options that avoid this issue.
Similarly, the :doc:`create_atoms <create_atoms>` command generates a
lattice of atoms. For the same physical system, the ordering and
numbering of atoms by atom ID may be different depending on the number
of processors.
Some commands use random number generators which may be setup to
produce different random number streams on each processor and hence
will produce different effects when run on different numbers of
processors. A commonly-used example is the :doc:`fix langevin <fix_langevin>` command for thermostatting.
A LAMMPS simulation typically has two stages, setup and run. Most
LAMMPS errors are detected at setup time; others like a bond
stretching too far may not occur until the middle of a run.
LAMMPS tries to flag errors and print informative error messages so
you can fix the problem. Of course, LAMMPS cannot figure out your
physics or numerical mistakes, like choosing too big a timestep,
specifying erroneous force field coefficients, or putting 2 atoms on
top of each other! If you run into errors that LAMMPS doesn't catch
that you think it should flag, please send an email to the
`developers <http://lammps.sandia.gov/authors.html>`_.
If you get an error message about an invalid command in your input
script, you can determine what command is causing the problem by
looking in the log.lammps file or using the :doc:`echo command <echo>`
to see it on the screen. If you get an error like "Invalid ...
style", with ... being fix, compute, pair, etc, it means that you
mistyped the style name or that the command is part of an optional
package which was not compiled into your executable. The list of
available styles in your executable can be listed by using :ref:`the -h command-line argument <start_7>`. The installation
and compilation of optional packages is explained in the :ref:`installation instructions <start_3>`.
For a given command, LAMMPS expects certain arguments in a specified
order. If you mess this up, LAMMPS will often flag the error, but it
may also simply read a bogus argument and assign a value that is
valid, but not what you wanted. E.g. trying to read the string "abc"
as an integer value of 0. Careful reading of the associated doc page
for the command should allow you to fix these problems. Note that
some commands allow for variables to be specified in place of numeric
constants so that the value can be evaluated and change over the
course of a run. This is typically done with the syntax *v_name* for
a parameter, where name is the name of the variable. This is only
allowed if the command documentation says it is.
Generally, LAMMPS will print a message to the screen and logfile and
exit gracefully when it encounters a fatal error. Sometimes it will
print a WARNING to the screen and logfile and continue on; you can
decide if the WARNING is important or not. A WARNING message that is
generated in the middle of a run is only printed to the screen, not to
the logfile, to avoid cluttering up thermodynamic output. If LAMMPS
crashes or hangs without spitting out an error message first then it
could be a bug (see :ref:`this section <err_2>`) or one of the following
cases:
LAMMPS runs in the available memory a processor allows to be
allocated. Most reasonable MD runs are compute limited, not memory
limited, so this shouldn't be a bottleneck on most platforms. Almost
all large memory allocations in the code are done via C-style malloc's
which will generate an error message if you run out of memory.
Smaller chunks of memory are allocated via C++ "new" statements. If
you are unlucky you could run out of memory just when one of these
small requests is made, in which case the code will crash or hang (in
parallel), since LAMMPS doesn't trap on those errors.
Illegal arithmetic can cause LAMMPS to run slow or crash. This is
typically due to invalid physics and numerics that your simulation is
computing. If you see wild thermodynamic values or NaN values in your
LAMMPS output, something is wrong with your simulation. If you
suspect this is happening, it is a good idea to print out
thermodynamic info frequently (e.g. every timestep) via the
:doc:`thermo <thermo>` so you can monitor what is happening.
Visualizing the atom movement is also a good idea to insure your model
is behaving as you expect.
In parallel, one way LAMMPS can hang is due to how different MPI
implementations handle buffering of messages. If the code hangs
without an error message, it may be that you need to specify an MPI
setting or two (usually via an environment variable) to enable
buffering or boost the sizes of messages that can be buffered.
----------
.. _err_2:
Reporting bugs
--------------
If you are confident that you have found a bug in LAMMPS, follow these
steps.
Check the `New features and bug fixes <http://lammps.sandia.gov/bug.html>`_ section of the `LAMMPS WWW site <lws_>`_ to see if the bug has already been reported or fixed or the
`Unfixed bug <http://lammps.sandia.gov/unbug.html>`_ to see if a fix is
pending.
Check the `mailing list <http://lammps.sandia.gov/mail.html>`_
to see if it has been discussed before.
If not, send an email to the mailing list describing the problem with
any ideas you have as to what is causing it or where in the code the
problem might be. The developers will ask for more info if needed,
such as an input script or data files.
The most useful thing you can do to help us fix the bug is to isolate
the problem. Run it on the smallest number of atoms and fewest number
of processors and with the simplest input script that reproduces the
bug and try to identify what command or combination of commands is
causing the problem.
As a last resort, you can send an email directly to the
`developers <http://lammps.sandia.gov/authors.html>`_.

.. _err_3:
Error & warning messages
------------------------------------
These are two alphabetic lists of the :ref:`ERROR <error>` and
:ref:`WARNING <warn>` messages LAMMPS prints out and the reason why. If the
explanation here is not sufficient, the documentation for the
offending command may help.
Error and warning messages also list the source file and line number
where the error was generated. For example, this message
ERROR: Illegal velocity command (velocity.cpp:78)
means that line #78 in the file src/velocity.cpp generated the error.
Looking in the source code may help you figure out what went wrong.
Note that error messages from :ref:`user-contributed packages <start_3>` are not listed here. If such an
error occurs and is not self-explanatory, you'll need to look in the
source code or contact the author of the package.
.. _error:
Errors:
-------------------
*1-3 bond count is inconsistent*
An inconsistency was detected when computing the number of 1-3
neighbors for each atom. This likely means something is wrong with
the bond topologies you have defined.
*1-4 bond count is inconsistent*
An inconsistency was detected when computing the number of 1-4
neighbors for each atom. This likely means something is wrong with
the bond topologies you have defined.
*Accelerator sharing is not currently supported on system*
Multiple MPI processes cannot share the accelerator on your
system. For NVIDIA GPUs, see the nvidia-smi command to change this
setting.
*All angle coeffs are not set*

All improper coefficients must be set in the data file or by the
improper_coeff command before running a simulation.
*All masses are not set*
For atom styles that define masses for each atom type, all masses must
be set in the data file or by the mass command before running a
simulation. They must also be set before using the velocity
command.
*All mol IDs should be set for fix gcmc group atoms*
The molecule flag is on, yet not all molecule ids in the fix group
have been set to non-zero positive values by the user. This is an
error since all atoms in the fix gcmc group are eligible for deletion,
rotation, and translation and therefore must have valid molecule ids.
*All pair coeffs are not set*
All pair coefficients must be set in the data file or by the
pair_coeff command before running a simulation.
*All read_dump x,y,z fields must be specified for scaled, triclinic coords*

the x,y,z fields, else LAMMPS cannot reconstruct the unscaled
coordinates.
*All universe/uloop variables must have same # of values*
Self-explanatory.
*All variables in next command must be same style*
Self-explanatory.
*Angle atom missing in delete_bonds*

The set command cannot find one or more atoms in a particular angle on
a particular processor. The pairwise cutoff is too short or the atoms
are too far apart to make a valid angle.
*Angle atoms %d %d %d missing on proc %d at step %ld*
One or more of 3 atoms needed to compute a particular angle are
missing on this processor. Typically this is because the pairwise
cutoff is set too short or the angle has blown apart and an atom is
too far away.
*Angle atoms missing on proc %d at step %ld*
One or more of 3 atoms needed to compute a particular angle are
missing on this processor. Typically this is because the pairwise
cutoff is set too short or the angle has blown apart and an atom is
too far away.

Angle style hybrid uses another angle style as one of its
coefficients. The angle style used in the angle_coeff command or read
from a restart file is not recognized.
*Angle coeffs are not set*
No angle coefficients have been assigned in the data file or via the
angle_coeff command.
*Angle extent > half of periodic box length*
This error was detected by the neigh_modify check yes setting. It is
an error because the angle atoms are so far apart it is ambiguous how
it should be defined.

The data file header lists angles but no angle types.
*Append boundary must be shrink/minimum*
The boundary style of the face where atoms are added
must be of type m (shrink/minimum).

Sum of atoms across processors does not equal initial total count.
This is probably because you have lost some atoms.
*Atom in too many rigid bodies - boost MAXBODY*
Fix poems has a parameter MAXBODY (in fix_poems.cpp) which determines
the maximum number of rigid bodies a single atom can belong to (i.e. a
multibody joint). The bodies you have defined exceed this limit.
*Atom sort did not operate correctly*
This is an internal LAMMPS error. Please report it to the
developers.

This is because those fixes store the shape of the box. You need to
use unfix to discard the fix, change the box, then redefine a new
fix.

*Out of range atoms - cannot compute MSM*
One or more atoms are attempting to map their charge to a MSM grid point

boundary of a processor's sub-domain has moved more than 1/2 the
:doc:`neighbor skin distance <neighbor>` without neighbor lists being
rebuilt and atoms being migrated to new processors. This also means
you may be missing pairwise interactions that need to be computed.
The solution is to change the re-neighboring criteria via the
`neigh_modify <neigh_modify>`_ command. The safest settings are "delay 0
every 1 check yes". Second, it may mean that an atom has moved far
outside a processor's sub-domain or even the entire simulation box.

large a timestep, etc.

This is typically because the box-size specified in the data file is
large compared to the actual extent of atoms in a shrink-wrapped
dimension. When LAMMPS shrink-wraps the box atoms will be lost if the

The replicate command cannot be used before a read_data, read_restart,
or create_box command.
*Replicate did not assign all atoms correctly*
Atoms replicated by the replicate command were not assigned correctly
to processors. This is likely due to some atom coordinates being
outside a non-periodic simulation box.
*Replicated system atom IDs are too big*
See the setting for tagint in the src/lmptype.h file.
*Replicated system is too big*
See the setting for bigint in the src/lmptype.h file.

The file was written on a machine with different byte-ordering than
the machine you are reading it on. Convert it to a text data file
instead, on the machine you wrote it on.

version of LAMMPS that is too old compared to the current version.
Use your older version of LAMMPS and convert the restart file
to a data file.

it is part of, or vice versa. The solution is to use the communicate
cutoff command to insure ghost atoms are acquired from far enough away
to encompass the max distance printed when the fix rigid/small command
was invoked.

Fix poems will only work with bodies (collections of atoms) that have
non-zero principal moments of inertia. This means they must be 3 or
more non-collinear atoms, even with joint atoms removed.

NPT/NPH fix must be defined in input script after all rigid fixes,
else the rigid fix contribution to the pressure virial is
incorrect.

command are not all accessible to a processor. This probably means
an atom has moved too far.

than 4 atoms.
*Shake clusters are connected*
A single cluster specified by the fix shake command must have a single
central atom with up to 3 other atoms bonded to it.

The determinant of the matrix being solved for a single cluster
specified by the fix shake command is numerically invalid.
*Shake fix must come before NPT/NPH fix*
NPT fix must be defined in input script after SHAKE fix, else the
SHAKE fix contribution to the pressure virial is incorrect.
*Shear history overflow, boost neigh_modify one*
There are too many neighbors of a single atom. Use the neigh_modify
command to increase the max number of neighbors allowed for one atom.
You may also want to boost the page size.

.. _warn:
Warnings:
--------------------
*Adjusting Coulombic cutoff for MSM, new cutoff = %g*
The adjust/cutoff command is turned on and the Coulombic cutoff has been
adjusted to match the user-specified accuracy.
*Angle atoms missing at step %ld*
One or more of 3 atoms needed to compute a particular angle are
missing on this processor. Typically this is because the pairwise
cutoff is set too short or the angle has blown apart and an atom is
too far away.
*Angle style in data file differs from currently defined angle style*
Self-explanatory.
*Atom style in data file differs from currently defined atom style*
Self-explanatory.
*Bond atom missing in box size check*
The 2nd atoms needed to compute a particular bond is missing on this
processor. Typically this is because the pairwise cutoff is set too
short or the bond has blown apart and an atom is too far away.
*Bond atom missing in image check*
The 2nd atom in a particular bond is missing on this processor.
Typically this is because the pairwise cutoff is set too short or the
bond has blown apart and an atom is too far away.
*Bond atoms missing at step %ld*
The 2nd atom needed to compute a particular bond is missing on this
processor. Typically this is because the pairwise cutoff is set too
short or the bond has blown apart and an atom is too far away.
*Bond style in data file differs from currently defined bond style*
Self-explanatory.
*Bond/angle/dihedral extent > half of periodic box length*
This is a restriction because LAMMPS can be confused about which image
of an atom in the bonded interaction is the correct one to use.
"Extent" in this context means the maximum end-to-end length of the
bond/angle/dihedral. LAMMPS computes this by taking the maximum bond
length, multiplying by the number of bonds in the interaction (e.g. 3
for a dihedral) and adding a small amount of stretch.
*Both groups in compute group/group have a net charge; the Kspace boundary correction to energy will be non-zero*
Self-explantory.
*Calling write_dump before a full system init.*
The write_dump command is used before the system has been fully
initialized as part of a 'run' or 'minimize' command. Not all dump
styles and features are fully supported at this point and thus the
command may fail or produce incomplete or incorrect output. Insert
a "run 0" command, if a full system init is required.
*Cannot count rigid body degrees-of-freedom before bodies are fully initialized*
This means the temperature associated with the rigid bodies may be
incorrect on this timestep.
*Cannot count rigid body degrees-of-freedom before bodies are initialized*
This means the temperature associated with the rigid bodies may be
incorrect on this timestep.
*Cannot include log terms without 1/r terms; setting flagHI to 1*

Self-explanatory.
*Communication cutoff is too small for SNAP micro load balancing, increased to %lf*
Self-explanatory.
*Compute cna/atom cutoff may be too large to find ghost atom neighbors*
The neighbor cutoff used may not encompass enough ghost atoms
to perform this operation correctly.
*Computing temperature of portions of rigid bodies*
The group defined by the temperature compute does not encompass all
the atoms in one or more rigid bodies, so the change in
degrees-of-freedom for the atoms in those partial rigid bodies will
not be accounted for.
*Create_bonds max distance > minimum neighbor cutoff*
This means atom pairs for some atom types may not be in the neighbor
list and thus no bond can be created between them.
*Delete_atoms cutoff > minimum neighbor cutoff*
This means atom pairs for some atom types may not be in the neighbor
list and thus an atom in that pair cannot be deleted.
*Dihedral atoms missing at step %ld*
One or more of 4 atoms needed to compute a particular dihedral are
missing on this processor. Typically this is because the pairwise
cutoff is set too short or the dihedral has blown apart and an atom is
too far away.
*Dihedral problem*
Conformation of the 4 listed dihedral atoms is extreme; you may want
to check your simulation geometry.
*Dihedral problem: %d %ld %d %d %d %d*
Conformation of the 4 listed dihedral atoms is extreme; you may want
to check your simulation geometry.
*Dihedral style in data file differs from currently defined dihedral style*

for in the energy tally and thus energy conservation cannot be
monitored in this case.
*Estimated error in splitting of dispersion coeffs is %g*
Error is greater than 0.0001 percent.
*Ewald/disp Newton solver failed, using old method to estimate g_ewald*
Self-explanatory. Choosing a different cutoff value may help.
*FENE bond too long*
A FENE bond has stretched dangerously far. It's interaction strength
will be truncated to attempt to prevent the bond from blowing up.
*FENE bond too long: %ld %d %d %g*
A FENE bond has stretched dangerously far. It's interaction strength
will be truncated to attempt to prevent the bond from blowing up.
*FENE bond too long: %ld %g*
A FENE bond has stretched dangerously far. It's interaction strength
will be truncated to attempt to prevent the bond from blowing up.
*Fix SRD walls overlap but fix srd overlap not set*
You likely want to set this in your input script.
*Fix bond/swap will ignore defined angles*
See the doc page for fix bond/swap for more info on this
restriction.
*Fix deposit near setting < possible overlap separation %g*
This test is performed for finite size particles with a diameter, not
for point particles. The near setting is smaller than the particle
diameter which can lead to overlaps.
*Fix evaporate may delete atom with non-zero molecule ID*
This is probably an error, since you should not delete only one atom
of a molecule.
*Fix gcmc using full_energy option*
Fix gcmc has automatically turned on the full_energy option since it
is required for systems like the one specified by the user. User input
included one or more of the following: kspace, triclinic, a hybrid
pair style, an eam pair style, or no "single" function for the pair
style.
*Fix property/atom mol or charge w/out ghost communication*
A model typically needs these properties defined for ghost atoms.
*Fix qeq CG convergence failed (%g) after %d iterations at %ld step*
Self-explanatory.
*Fix qeq has non-zero lower Taper radius cutoff*
Absolute value must be <= 0.01.
*Fix qeq has very low Taper radius cutoff*
Value should typically be >= 5.0.
*Fix qeq/dynamic tolerance may be too small for damped dynamics*
Self-explanatory.
*Fix qeq/fire tolerance may be too small for damped fires*
Self-explanatory.
*Fix rattle should come after all other integration fixes*
This fix is designed to work after all other integration fixes change
atom positions. Thus it should be the last integration fix specified.
If not, it will not satisfy the desired constraints as well as it
otherwise would.
*Fix recenter should come after all other integration fixes*
Other fixes may change the position of the center-of-mass, so
fix recenter should come last.
*Fix srd SRD moves may trigger frequent reneighboring*
This is because the SRD particles may move long distances.
*Fix srd grid size > 1/4 of big particle diameter*
This may cause accuracy problems.
*Fix srd particle moved outside valid domain*
This may indicate a problem with your simulation parameters.
*Fix srd particles may move > big particle diameter*
This may cause accuracy problems.
*Fix srd viscosity < 0.0 due to low SRD density*
This may cause accuracy problems.
*Fix thermal/conductivity comes before fix ave/spatial*
The order of these 2 fixes in your input script is such that fix
thermal/conductivity comes first. If you are using fix ave/spatial to
measure the temperature profile induced by fix viscosity, then this
may cause a glitch in the profile since you are averaging immediately
after swaps have occurred. Flipping the order of the 2 fixes
typically helps.
*Fix viscosity comes before fix ave/spatial*
The order of these 2 fixes in your input script is such that
fix viscosity comes first. If you are using fix ave/spatial
to measure the velocity profile induced by fix viscosity, then
this may cause a glitch in the profile since you are averaging
immediately after swaps have occurred. Flipping the order
of the 2 fixes typically helps.
*Fixes cannot send data in Kokkos communication, switching to classic communication*
This is current restriction with Kokkos.
*For better accuracy use 'pair_modify table 0'*
The user-specified force accuracy cannot be achieved unless the table
feature is disabled by using 'pair_modify table 0'.
*Geometric mixing assumed for 1/r^6 coefficients*
Self-explanatory.
*Group for fix_modify temp != fix group*
The fix_modify command is specifying a temperature computation that
computes a temperature on a different group of atoms than the fix
itself operates on. This is probably not what you want to do.
*H matrix size has been exceeded: m_fill=%d H.m=%d\n*
This is the size of the matrix.
*Ignoring unknown or incorrect info command flag*
Self-explanatory. An unknown argument was given to the info command.
Compare your input with the documentation.
*Improper atoms missing at step %ld*
One or more of 4 atoms needed to compute a particular improper are
missing on this processor. Typically this is because the pairwise
cutoff is set too short or the improper has blown apart and an atom is
too far away.
*Improper problem: %d %ld %d %d %d %d*
Conformation of the 4 listed improper atoms is extreme; you may want
to check your simulation geometry.
*Improper style in data file differs from currently defined improper style*
Self-explanatory.
*Inconsistent image flags*
The image flags for a pair on bonded atoms appear to be inconsistent.
Inconsistent means that when the coordinates of the two atoms are
unwrapped using the image flags, the two atoms are far apart.
Specifically they are further apart than half a periodic box length.
Or they are more than a box length apart in a non-periodic dimension.
This is usually due to the initial data file not having correct image
flags for the 2 atoms in a bond that straddles a periodic boundary.
They should be different by 1 in that case. This is a warning because
inconsistent image flags will not cause problems for dynamics or most
LAMMPS simulations. However they can cause problems when such atoms
are used with the fix rigid or replicate commands. Note that if you
have an infinite periodic crystal with bonds then it is impossible to
have fully consistent image flags, since some bonds will cross
periodic boundaries and connect two atoms with the same image
flag.
*KIM Model does not provide `energy'; Potential energy will be zero*
Self-explanatory.
*KIM Model does not provide `forces'; Forces will be zero*
Self-explanatory.
*KIM Model does not provide `particleEnergy'; energy per atom will be zero*
Self-explanatory.
*KIM Model does not provide `particleVirial'; virial per atom will be zero*
Self-explanatory.
*Kspace_modify slab param < 2.0 may cause unphysical behavior*
The kspace_modify slab parameter should be larger to insure periodic
grids padded with empty space do not overlap.
*Less insertions than requested*
The fix pour command was unsuccessful at finding open space
for as many particles as it tried to insert.
*Library error in lammps_gather_atoms*
This library function cannot be used if atom IDs are not defined
or are not consecutively numbered.
*Library error in lammps_scatter_atoms*
This library function cannot be used if atom IDs are not defined or
are not consecutively numbered, or if no atom map is defined. See the
atom_modify command for details about atom maps.
*Lost atoms via change_box: original %ld current %ld*
The command options you have used caused atoms to be lost.
*Lost atoms via displace_atoms: original %ld current %ld*
The command options you have used caused atoms to be lost.
*Lost atoms: original %ld current %ld*
Lost atoms are checked for each time thermo output is done. See the
thermo_modify lost command for options. Lost atoms usually indicate
bad dynamics, e.g. atoms have been blown far out of the simulation
box, or moved futher than one processor's sub-domain away before
reneighboring.
*MSM mesh too small, increasing to 2 points in each direction*
Self-explanatory.
*Mismatch between velocity and compute groups*
The temperature computation used by the velocity command will not be
on the same group of atoms that velocities are being set for.
*Mixing forced for lj coefficients*
Self-explanatory.
*Molecule attributes do not match system attributes*
An attribute is specified (e.g. diameter, charge) that is
not defined for the specified atom style.
*Molecule has bond topology but no special bond settings*
This means the bonded atoms will not be excluded in pair-wise
interactions.
*Molecule template for create_atoms has multiple molecules*
The create_atoms command will only create molecules of a single type,
i.e. the first molecule in the template.
*Molecule template for fix gcmc has multiple molecules*
The fix gcmc command will only create molecules of a single type,
i.e. the first molecule in the template.
*Molecule template for fix shake has multiple molecules*
The fix shake command will only recoginze molecules of a single
type, i.e. the first molecule in the template.
*More than one compute centro/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute centro/atom more than once.
*More than one compute cluster/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute cluster/atom more than once.
*More than one compute cna/atom defined*
It is not efficient to use compute cna/atom more than once.
*More than one compute contact/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute contact/atom more than once.
*More than one compute coord/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute coord/atom more than once.
*More than one compute damage/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute ke/atom more than once.
*More than one compute dilatation/atom*
Self-explanatory.
*More than one compute erotate/sphere/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute erorate/sphere/atom more than once.
*More than one compute hexorder/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute hexorder/atom more than once.
*More than one compute ke/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute ke/atom more than once.
*More than one compute orientorder/atom*
It is not efficient to use compute orientorder/atom more than once.
*More than one compute plasticity/atom*
Self-explanatory.
*More than one compute sna/atom*
Self-explanatory.
*More than one compute snad/atom*
Self-explanatory.
*More than one compute snav/atom*
Self-explanatory.
*More than one fix poems*
It is not efficient to use fix poems more than once.
*More than one fix rigid*
It is not efficient to use fix rigid more than once.
*Neighbor exclusions used with KSpace solver may give inconsistent Coulombic energies*
This is because excluding specific pair interactions also excludes
them from long-range interactions which may not be the desired effect.
The special_bonds command handles this consistently by insuring
excluded (or weighted) 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 interactions are treated
consistently by both the short-range pair style and the long-range
solver. This is not done for exclusions of charged atom pairs via the
neigh_modify exclude command.
*New thermo_style command, previous thermo_modify settings will be lost*
If a thermo_style command is used after a thermo_modify command, the
settings changed by the thermo_modify command will be reset to their
default values. This is because the thermo_modify commmand acts on
the currently defined thermo style, and a thermo_style command creates
a new style.
*No Kspace calculation with verlet/split*
The 2nd partition performs a kspace calculation so the kspace_style
command must be used.
*No automatic unit conversion to XTC file format conventions possible for units lj*
This means no scaling will be performed.
*No fixes defined, atoms won't move*
If you are not using a fix like nve, nvt, npt then atom velocities and
coordinates will not be updated during timestepping.
*No joints between rigid bodies, use fix rigid instead*
The bodies defined by fix poems are not connected by joints. POEMS
will integrate the body motion, but it would be more efficient to use
fix rigid.
*Not using real units with pair reax*
This is most likely an error, unless you have created your own ReaxFF
parameter file in a different set of units.
*Number of MSM mesh points changed to be a multiple of 2*
MSM requires that the number of grid points in each direction be a multiple
of two and the number of grid points in one or more directions have been
adjusted to meet this requirement.
*OMP_NUM_THREADS environment is not set.*
This environment variable must be set appropriately to use the
USER-OMP package.
*One or more atoms are time integrated more than once*
This is probably an error since you typically do not want to
advance the positions or velocities of an atom more than once
per timestep.
*One or more chunks do not contain all atoms in molecule*
This may not be what you intended.
*One or more dynamic groups may not be updated at correct point in timestep*
If there are other fixes that act immediately after the intitial stage
of time integration within a timestep (i.e. after atoms move), then
the command that sets up the dynamic group should appear after those
fixes. This will insure that dynamic group assignements are made
after all atoms have moved.
*One or more respa levels compute no forces*
This is computationally inefficient.
*Pair COMB charge %.10f with force %.10f hit max barrier*
Something is possibly wrong with your model.
*Pair COMB charge %.10f with force %.10f hit min barrier*
Something is possibly wrong with your model.
*Pair brownian needs newton pair on for momentum conservation*
Self-explanatory.
*Pair dpd needs newton pair on for momentum conservation*
Self-explanatory.
*Pair dsmc: num_of_collisions > number_of_A*
Collision model in DSMC is breaking down.
*Pair dsmc: num_of_collisions > number_of_B*
Collision model in DSMC is breaking down.
*Pair style in data file differs from currently defined pair style*
Self-explanatory.
*Particle deposition was unsuccessful*
The fix deposit command was not able to insert as many atoms as
needed. The requested volume fraction may be too high, or other atoms
may be in the insertion region.
*Proc sub-domain size < neighbor skin, could lead to lost atoms*
The decomposition of the physical domain (likely due to load
balancing) has led to a processor's sub-domain being smaller than the
neighbor skin in one or more dimensions. Since reneighboring is
triggered by atoms moving the skin distance, this may lead to lost
atoms, if an atom moves all the way across a neighboring processor's
sub-domain before reneighboring is triggered.
*Reducing PPPM order b/c stencil extends beyond nearest neighbor processor*
This may lead to a larger grid than desired. See the kspace_modify overlap
command to prevent changing of the PPPM order.
*Reducing PPPMDisp Coulomb order b/c stencil extends beyond neighbor processor*
This may lead to a larger grid than desired. See the kspace_modify overlap
command to prevent changing of the PPPM order.
*Reducing PPPMDisp dispersion order b/c stencil extends beyond neighbor processor*
This may lead to a larger grid than desired. See the kspace_modify overlap
command to prevent changing of the PPPM order.
*Replacing a fix, but new group != old group*
The ID and style of a fix match for a fix you are changing with a fix
command, but the new group you are specifying does not match the old
group.
*Replicating in a non-periodic dimension*
The parameters for a replicate command will cause a non-periodic
dimension to be replicated; this may cause unwanted behavior.
*Resetting reneighboring criteria during PRD*
A PRD simulation requires that neigh_modify settings be delay = 0,
every = 1, check = yes. Since these settings were not in place,
LAMMPS changed them and will restore them to their original values
after the PRD simulation.
*Resetting reneighboring criteria during TAD*
A TAD simulation requires that neigh_modify settings be delay = 0,
every = 1, check = yes. Since these settings were not in place,
LAMMPS changed them and will restore them to their original values
after the PRD simulation.
*Resetting reneighboring criteria during minimization*
Minimization requires that neigh_modify settings be delay = 0, every =
1, check = yes. Since these settings were not in place, LAMMPS
changed them and will restore them to their original values after the
minimization.
*Restart file used different # of processors*
The restart file was written out by a LAMMPS simulation running on a
different number of processors. Due to round-off, the trajectories of
your restarted simulation may diverge a little more quickly than if
you ran on the same # of processors.
*Restart file used different 3d processor grid*
The restart file was written out by a LAMMPS simulation running on a
different 3d grid of processors. Due to round-off, the trajectories
of your restarted simulation may diverge a little more quickly than if
you ran on the same # of processors.
*Restart file used different boundary settings, using restart file values*
Your input script cannot change these restart file settings.
*Restart file used different newton bond setting, using restart file value*
The restart file value will override the setting in the input script.
*Restart file used different newton pair setting, using input script value*
The input script value will override the setting in the restart file.
*Restrain problem: %d %ld %d %d %d %d*
Conformation of the 4 listed dihedral atoms is extreme; you may want
to check your simulation geometry.
*Running PRD with only one replica*
This is allowed, but you will get no parallel speed-up.
*SRD bin shifting turned on due to small lamda*
This is done to try to preserve accuracy.
*SRD bin size for fix srd differs from user request*
Fix SRD had to adjust the bin size to fit the simulation box. See the
cubic keyword if you want this message to be an error vs warning.
*SRD bins for fix srd are not cubic enough*
The bin shape is not within tolerance of cubic. See the cubic
keyword if you want this message to be an error vs warning.
*SRD particle %d started inside big particle %d on step %ld bounce %d*
See the inside keyword if you want this message to be an error vs
warning.
*SRD particle %d started inside wall %d on step %ld bounce %d*
See the inside keyword if you want this message to be an error vs
warning.
*Shake determinant < 0.0*
The determinant of the quadratic equation being solved for a single
cluster specified by the fix shake command is numerically suspect. LAMMPS
will set it to 0.0 and continue.
*Shell command '%s' failed with error '%s'*
Self-explanatory.
*Shell command returned with non-zero status*
This may indicate the shell command did not operate as expected.
*Should not allow rigid bodies to bounce off relecting walls*
LAMMPS allows this, but their dynamics are not computed correctly.
*Should not use fix nve/limit with fix shake or fix rattle*
This will lead to invalid constraint forces in the SHAKE/RATTLE
computation.
*Simulations might be very slow because of large number of structure factors*
Self-explanatory.
*Slab correction not needed for MSM*
Slab correction is intended to be used with Ewald or PPPM and is not needed by MSM.
*System is not charge neutral, net charge = %g*
The total charge on all atoms on the system is not 0.0.
For some KSpace solvers this is only a warning.
*Table inner cutoff >= outer cutoff*
You specified an inner cutoff for a Coulombic table that is longer
than the global cutoff. Probably not what you wanted.
*Temperature for MSST is not for group all*
User-assigned temperature to MSST fix does not compute temperature for
all atoms. Since MSST computes a global pressure, the kinetic energy
contribution from the temperature is assumed to also be for all atoms.
Thus the pressure used by MSST could be inaccurate.
*Temperature for NPT is not for group all*
User-assigned temperature to NPT fix does not compute temperature for
all atoms. Since NPT computes a global pressure, the kinetic energy
contribution from the temperature is assumed to also be for all atoms.
Thus the pressure used by NPT could be inaccurate.
*Temperature for fix modify is not for group all*
The temperature compute is being used with a pressure calculation
which does operate on group all, so this may be inconsistent.
*Temperature for thermo pressure is not for group all*
User-assigned temperature to thermo via the thermo_modify command does
not compute temperature for all atoms. Since thermo computes a global
pressure, the kinetic energy contribution from the temperature is
assumed to also be for all atoms. Thus the pressure printed by thermo
could be inaccurate.
*The fix ave/spatial command has been replaced by the more flexible fix ave/chunk and compute chunk/atom commands -- fix ave/spatial will be removed in the summer of 2015*
Self-explanatory.
*The minimizer does not re-orient dipoles when using fix efield*
This means that only the atom coordinates will be minimized,
not the orientation of the dipoles.
*Too many common neighbors in CNA %d times*
More than the maximum # of neighbors was found multiple times. This
was unexpected.
*Too many inner timesteps in fix ttm*
Self-explanatory.
*Too many neighbors in CNA for %d atoms*
More than the maximum # of neighbors was found multiple times. This
was unexpected.
*Triclinic box skew is large*
The displacement in a skewed direction is normally required to be less
than half the box length in that dimension. E.g. the xy tilt must be
between -half and +half of the x box length. You have relaxed the
constraint using the box tilt command, but the warning means that a
LAMMPS simulation may be inefficient as a result.
*Use special bonds = 0,1,1 with bond style fene*
Most FENE models need this setting for the special_bonds command.
*Use special bonds = 0,1,1 with bond style fene/expand*
Most FENE models need this setting for the special_bonds command.
*Using a manybody potential with bonds/angles/dihedrals and special_bond exclusions*
This is likely not what you want to do. The exclusion settings will
eliminate neighbors in the neighbor list, which the manybody potential
needs to calculated its terms correctly.
*Using compute temp/deform with inconsistent fix deform remap option*
Fix nvt/sllod assumes deforming atoms have a velocity profile provided
by "remap v" or "remap none" as a fix deform option.
*Using compute temp/deform with no fix deform defined*
This is probably an error, since it makes little sense to use
compute temp/deform in this case.
*Using fix srd with box deformation but no SRD thermostat*
The deformation will heat the SRD particles so this can
be dangerous.
*Using kspace solver on system with no charge*
Self-explanatory.
*Using largest cut-off for lj/long/dipole/long long long*
Self-explanatory.
*Using largest cutoff for buck/long/coul/long*
Self-exlanatory.
*Using largest cutoff for lj/long/coul/long*
Self-explanatory.
*Using largest cutoff for pair_style lj/long/tip4p/long*
Self-explanatory.
*Using package gpu without any pair style defined*
Self-explanatory.
*Using pair potential shift with pair_modify compute no*
The shift effects will thus not be computed.
*Using pair tail corrections with nonperiodic system*
This is probably a bogus thing to do, since tail corrections are
computed by integrating the density of a periodic system out to
infinity.
*Using pair tail corrections with pair_modify compute no*
The tail corrections will thus not be computed.
*pair style reax is now deprecated and will soon be retired. Users should switch to pair_style reax/c*
Self-explanatory.
