			<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each bond type via the
			<A HREF = "bond_coeff.html">bond_coeff</A> command as in the example above, or in
			the data file or restart files read by the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A>

			<P>This bond style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
			"molecular" package (which it is by default). See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_3">Making
