angle_style cosine/shift command :h3
angle_style cosine/shift/omp command :h3
[Syntax:]
angle_style cosine/shift :pre
[Examples:]
angle_style cosine/shift
angle_coeff * 10.0 45.0 :pre
[Description:]
The {cosine/shift} angle style uses the potential
:c,image(Eqs/angle_cosine_shift.jpg)
where theta0 is the equilibrium angle. The potential is bounded
between -Umin and zero. In the neighborhood of the minimum E=- Umin +
Umin/4(theta-theta0)^2 hence the spring constant is umin/2.
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:
umin (energy)
theta (angle) :ul
:line
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_accelerate"_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_accelerate"_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
USER-MISC package. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
section for more info on packages.
