angle_style cosine/periodic command :h3
angle_style cosine/periodic/omp command :h3
[Syntax:]
angle_style cosine/periodic :pre
[Examples:]
angle_style cosine/periodic
angle_coeff * 75.0 1 6 :pre
[Description:]
The {cosine/periodic} angle style uses the following potential, which
is commonly used in the "DREIDING"_Section_howto.html#howto_4 force
field, particularly for organometallic systems where {n} = 4 might be
used for an octahedral complex and {n} = 3 might be used for a
trigonal center:
:c,image(Eqs/angle_cosine_periodic.jpg)
where C, B and n are coefficients defined for each angle type.
See "(Mayo)"_#cosine-Mayo for a description of the DREIDING force field
The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
"angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the "read_data"_read_data.html
or "read_restart"_read_restart.html commands:
C (energy)
B = 1 or -1
n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 for periodicity :ul
Note that the prefactor C is specified and not the overall force
constant K = C / n^2. When B = 1, it leads to a minimum for the
linear geometry. When B = -1, it leads to a maximum for the linear
geometry.

Styles with a {gpu}, {intel}, {kk}, {omp}, or {opt} suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed in "Section 5"_Section_accelerate.html
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
issues.
These accelerated styles are part of the GPU, USER-INTEL, KOKKOS,
USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
switch"_Section_start.html#start_7 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
See "Section 5"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

[Restrictions:]
This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULE package (which it is by default). See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info on packages.
