			</P>
			<P>Move a group of atoms in a sinusoidal oscillation. This is useful in
			granular simulations when boundary atoms are wiggled to induce packing
			of the dynamic atoms. The dimension <I>dim</I> of movement is specified as
			is the <I>amplitude</I> and <I>period</I> of the oscillations. Each timestep
			the <I>dim</I> coordinate of each atom is set to
			</P>
			<PRE>coord = coord0 + A - A cos (omega * delta)
			</PRE>
			<P>where <I>coord0</I> is the coordinate at the time the fix was specified,
			<I>A</I> is the <I>amplitude</I>, <I>omega</I> is 2 PI / <I>period</I>, and <I>delta</I> is the
			elapsed time since the fix was specified. The velocity of the atom is
			set to the derivative of this expression.
