Examples:
angle_style class2 angle_coeff * 75.0 angle_coeff 1 bb 10.5872 1.0119 1.5228 angle_coeff * ba 3.6551 24.895 1.0119 1.5228
Description:
The class2 angle style uses the potential
where Ea is the angle term, Ebb is a bond-bond term, and Eba is a bond-angle term. Theta0 is the equilibrium angle and r1 and r2 are the equilibrium bond lengths.
See (Sun) for a description of the COMPASS class2 force field.
Coefficients for the Ea, Ebb, and Eba formulas must be defined for each angle type via the bond_coeff command as in the example above, or in the data file or restart files read by the read_data or read_restart commands.
These are the 4 coefficients for the Ea formula:
Theta0 is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to radians internally; hence the units of the various K are in per-radian.
For the Ebb formula, each line in a bond_coeff command in the input script lists 4 coefficients, the first of which is "bb" to indicate they are BondBond coefficients. In a data file, these coefficients should be listed under a "BondBond Coeffs" heading and you must leave out the "bb", i.e. only list 3 coefficients after the angle type.
For the Eba formula, each line in a bond_coeff command in the input script lists 5 coefficients, the first of which is "ba" to indicate they are BondAngle coefficients. In a data file, these coefficients should be listed under a "BondAngle Coeffs" heading and you must leave out the "ba", i.e. only list 4 coefficients after the angle type.
The theta0 value in the Eba formula is not specified, since it is the same value from the Ea formula.
Restrictions:
This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the "class2" package. See the Making LAMMPS section for more info on packages.
