compute ke/atom command

Syntax:

compute ID group-ID ke/atom 

Examples:

compute 1 all ke/atom 

Description:

Define a computation that calculates the per-atom kinetic energy for each atom in a group.

The value of the kinetic energy will be 0.0 for atoms not in the specified compute group.

The kinetic energy is simply 1/2 m v^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity of each atom.

Output info:

This compute calculates a scalar quantity for each atom, which can be accessed by any command that uses per-atom computes as input. See this section for an overview of LAMMPS output options.

Restrictions: none
