<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each bond type via the

the data file or restart files read by the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A>

<P><B>Restrictions:</B>
</P>
<P>Bond styles can only be set for atom styles that allow bonds to be
defined.
</P>
<P>This bond style is part of the "molecular" package. It is only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_2">Making
LAMMPS</A> section for more info.
