angle_style harmonic command

Syntax:

angle_style harmonic 

Examples:

angle_style harmonic
angle_coeff 1 300.0 107.0 

Description:

The harmonic angle style uses the potential

where theta0 is the equilibrium value of the angle, and K is a prefactor. Note that the usual 1/2 factor is included in K.

The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the angle_coeff command as in the example above, or in the data file or restart files read by the read_data or read_restart commands:

Theta0 is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to radians internally; hence the units of K are in energy/radian^2.

Restrictions: none
