The forces due to this fix are also imposed during an energy minimization, invoked by the minimize command.
+The total force on the group of atoms before it is reset is stored by +the fix and its components can be accessed during thermodynamic +print-out by using f_IDN where ID = he fix-ID and N = 1,2,3. See +the thermo_style custom command for details. Note +that the fix stores the total force on the group of atoms, but the +printed value may be normalized by the total number of atoms in the +simulation depending on the thermo_modify norm +option you are using. +
