fix python command :h3
[Syntax:]
fix ID group-ID python callback function_name :pre
ID, group-ID are ignored by this fix :ulb,l
python = style name of this fix command :l
callback = {post_force} or {end_of_step} :l
{post_force} = callback after force computations on atoms
{end_of_step} = callback after each time step :pre
:ule
[Examples:]
python post_force_callback here """
from lammps import lammps :pre
def post_force_callback(lammps_ptr, vflag):
lmp = lammps(ptr=lammps_ptr)
# access LAMMPS state using Python interface
""" :pre
python end_of_step_callback here """
def end_of_step_callback(lammps_ptr):
lmp = lammps(ptr=lammps_ptr)
# access LAMMPS state using Python interface
""" :pre
fix pf all python post_force post_force_callback
fix eos all python end_of_step end_of_step_callback :pre
[Description:]
This fix allows you to call a Python function during a simulation run.
The callback is either executed after forces have been applied to atoms
or at the end of each time step.
Callback functions must be declared in the global scope of the
active Python interpreter. This can either be done by defining it
inline using the python command or by importing functions from other
Python modules. If LAMMPS is driven using the library interface from
Python, functions defined in the driving Python interpreter can also
be executed.
Each callback is given a pointer object as first argument. This can be
used to initialize an instance of the lammps Python interface, which
gives access to the LAMMPS state from Python.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While you can access the state of LAMMPS via library functions
from these callbacks, trying to execute input script commands will in the best
case not work or in the worst case result in undefined behavior.
[Restrictions:]
This fix is part of the PYTHON package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
Building LAMMPS with the PYTHON package will link LAMMPS with the
Python library on your system. Settings to enable this are in the
lib/python/Makefile.lammps file. See the lib/python/README file for
information on those settings.
