<P>This dihedral potential is used in the OPLS force field and is
described in <A HREF = "#Watkins">(Watkins)</A>.

<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each dihedral type via the
<A HREF = "dihedral_coeff.html">dihedral_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 dihedral 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#start_3">Making
LAMMPS</A> section for more info on packages.
