<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Write out the chemical species information computed by the ReaxFF
potential specified by <a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html"><span class="doc">pair_style reax/c</span></a>.
Bond-order values (either averaged or instantaneous, depending on
value of <em>Nrepeat</em>) are used to determine chemical bonds. Every
<em>Nfreq</em> timesteps, chemical species information is written to
<em>filename</em> as a two line output. The first line is a header
containing labels. The second line consists of the following:
timestep, total number of molecules, total number of distinct species,
number of molecules of each species. In this context, &#8220;species&#8221; means
a unique molecule. The chemical formula of each species is given in
the first line.</p>
<p>Optional keyword <em>cutoff</em> can be assigned to change the minimum
bond-order values used in identifying chemical bonds between pairs of
atoms. Bond-order cutoffs should be carefully chosen, as bond-order
cutoffs that are too small may include too many bonds (which will
result in an error), while cutoffs that are too large will result in
fragmented molecules. The default cutoff of 0.3 usually gives good
results.</p>
<p>The optional keyword <em>element</em> can be used to specify the chemical
symbol printed for each LAMMPS atom type. The number of symbols must
match the number of LAMMPS atom types and each symbol must consist of
1 or 2 alphanumeric characters. Normally, these symbols should be
chosen to match the chemical identity of each LAMMPS atom type, as
specified using the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html"><span class="doc">reax/c pair_coeff</span></a> command and
the ReaxFF force field file.</p>
<p>The optional keyword <em>position</em> writes center-of-mass positions of
each identified molecules to file <em>filepos</em> every <em>posfreq</em> timesteps.
The first line contains information on timestep, total number of
molecules, total number of distinct species, and box dimensions. The
second line is a header containing labels. From the third line
downward, each molecule writes a line of output containing the
following information: molecule ID, number of atoms in this molecule,
chemical formula, total charge, and center-of-mass xyz positions of
this molecule. The xyz positions are in fractional coordinates
relative to the box dimensions.</p>
<p>For the keyword <em>position</em>, the <em>filepos</em> is the name of the output
file. It can contain the wildcard character &#8220;*&#8221;. If the &#8220;*&#8221;
character appears in <em>filepos</em>, then one file per snapshot is written
at <em>posfreq</em> and the &#8220;*&#8221; character is replaced with the timestep
value. For example, AuO.pos.* becomes AuO.pos.0, AuO.pos.1000, etc.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>The <em>Nevery</em>, <em>Nrepeat</em>, and <em>Nfreq</em> arguments specify on what
timesteps the bond-order values are sampled to get the average bond
order. The species analysis is performed using the average bond-order
on timesteps that are a multiple of <em>Nfreq</em>. The average is over
<em>Nrepeat</em> bond-order samples, computed in the preceding portion of the
simulation every <em>Nevery</em> timesteps. <em>Nfreq</em> must be a multiple of
<em>Nevery</em> and <em>Nevery</em> must be non-zero even if <em>Nrepeat</em> is 1.
Also, the timesteps
contributing to the average bond-order cannot overlap,
i.e. Nrepeat*Nevery can not exceed Nfreq.</p>
<p>For example, if Nevery=2, Nrepeat=6, and Nfreq=100, then bond-order
values on timesteps 90,92,94,96,98,100 will be used to compute the
average bond-order for the species analysis output on timestep 100.</p>

<div class="section" id="restart-fix-modify-output-run-start-stop-minimize-info">
<h2>Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info</h2>
<p>No information about this fix is written to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>. None of the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><span class="doc">fix_modify</span></a> options
are relevant to this fix.</p>
<p>This fix computes both a global vector of length 2 and a per-atom
vector, either of which can be accessed by various <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span class="std std-ref">output commands</span></a>. The values in the global
vector are &#8220;intensive&#8221;.</p>
<p>The 2 values in the global vector are as follows:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>1 = total number of molecules</li>
<li>2 = total number of distinct species</li>
</ul>
<p>The per-atom vector stores the molecule ID for each atom as identified
by the fix. If an atom is not in a molecule, its ID will be 0.
For atoms in the same molecule, the molecule ID for all of them
will be the same and will be equal to the smallest atom ID of
any atom in the molecule.</p>
<p>No parameter of this fix can be used with the <em>start/stop</em> keywords of
the <a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><span class="doc">run</span></a> command. This fix is not invoked during <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><span class="doc">energy minimization</span></a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>The fix species currently only works with
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html"><span class="doc">pair_style reax/c</span></a> and it requires that the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html"><span class="doc">pair_style reax/c</span></a> be invoked. This fix is part of the
USER-REAXC package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that
package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a> section
for more info.</p>
<p>It should be possible to extend it to other reactive pair_styles (such as
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_airebo.html"><span class="doc">rebo</span></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="pair_airebo.html"><span class="doc">airebo</span></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_comb.html"><span class="doc">comb</span></a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="pair_bop.html"><span class="doc">bop</span></a>), but this has not yet been done.</p>

<h2>Default</h2>
<p>The default values for bond-order cutoffs are 0.3 for all I-J pairs. The
