			# Compute elastic constant tensor for a crystal at finite temperature
			#
			# WARNING: This script attempts to measure small differences in
			# statistical averages generated by finite temperature MD simulations.
			# This creates many more opportunities for errors to occur, compared
			# to the zero temperature version provided in examples/ELASTIC.
			# Hence, it is always a good idea to start with the zero temperature
			# calculation, before attempting to use this script.
			#
			# Written by Aidan Thompson (Sandia, athomps@sandia.gov)
			#
			# This script uses the following three include files.
			#
			# init.mod (must be modified for different crystal structures)
			# Define units, MD parameters, deformation parameters,
			# and initial configuration of the atoms and simulation cell.
			#
			#
			# potential.mod (must be modified for different pair styles)
			# Define pair style and other attributes
			# not stored in restart file
			#
			#
			# displace.mod (displace.mod should not need to be modified)
			# Perform positive and negative box displacements
			# in direction ${dir} and size ${up}.
			# It uses the resultant changes
			# in stress to compute one
			# row of the elastic stiffness tensor
			#
			# Inputs variables:
			# dir = the Voigt deformation component
			# (1,2,3,4,5,6)
			# Global constants:
			# up = the deformation magnitude (strain units)
			# cfac = conversion from LAMMPS pressure units to
			# output units for elastic constants
			#
			#
			# To run this on a different system, it should only be necessary to
			# modify the files init.mod and potential.mod. In order to calculate
			# the elastic constants correctly, care must be taken to specify
			# the correct units in init.mod (units, cfac and cunits). It is also
			# important to verify that the MD sampling of stress components
			# is generating accurate statistical averages.
			# One indication of this is that the elastic constants are insensitive
			# to the choice of the variable ${up} in init.mod. Another is to
			# check for finite size effects.
