    fix move command +

    Syntax: +

    +
    fix ID group-ID move style args keyword values ... 
    +

    Examples: +

    +

    +fix 2 boundary move rotate 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 5.0
    +fix 2 boundary move variable v_myx v_myy NULL v_VX v_VY NULL 
    +
    +

    Description: +

    +

    Perform updates of position and velocity for atoms in the group each +timestep using the specified settings or formulas, without regard to +forces on the atoms. This can be useful for boundary or other atoms, +whose movement can influence nearby atoms. +

    +

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The atoms affected by this fix should not normally be +time integrated by other fixes (e.g. fix nve, fix +nvt), since that will change their positions and +velocities twice. +

    +

    IMPORTANT NOTE: As atoms move due to this fix, they will pass thru +periodic boundaries and be remapped to the other side of the +simulation box, just as they would during normal time integration +(e.g. via the fix nve command). It is up to you to +decide whether periodic boundaries are appropriate with the kind of +atom motion you are prescribing with this fix. +

    +

    IMPORTANT NOTE: As dicsussed below, atoms are moved relative to their +initial position at the time the fix is specified. These initial +coordinates are stored by the fix in "unwrapped" form, by using the +image flags associated with each atom. See the dump +custom command for a discussion of "unwrapped" coordinates. +See the Atoms section of the read_data command for a +discussion of image flags and how they are set for each atom. You can +reset the image flags (e.g. to 0) before invoking this fix by using +the set image command. +

    +
    + +

    The linear style moves atoms at a constant velocity, so that their +position X = (x,y,z) as a function of time is given in vector +notation as +

    +
    X(t) = X0 + V * delta 
    +
    +

    where X0 = (x0,y0,z0) is their position at the time the fix is +specified, V is the specified velocity vector with components +(Vx,Vy,Vz), and delta is the time elapsed since the beginning of the +simulation. This style also sets the velocity of each atom to V = +(Vx,Vy,Vz). If any of the velocity components is specified as NULL, +then the position and velocity of that component is time integrated +the same as the fix nve command would perform, using +the corresponding force component on the atom. +

    +

    The wiggle style moves atoms in an oscillatory fashion, so that +their position X = (x,y,z) as a function of time is given in vector +notation as +

    +
    X(t) = X0 + A sin(omega*delta) 
    +
    +

    where X0 = (x0,y0,z0) is their position at the time the fix is +specified, A is the specified amplitude vector with components +(Ax,Ay,Az), omega is 2 PI / period, and delta is the time +elapsed since the beginning of the simulation. This style also sets +the velocity of each atom to the time derivative of this expression. +If any of the amplitude components is specified as NULL, then the +position and velocity of that component is time integrated the same as +the fix nve command would perform, using the +corresponding force component on the atom. +

    +

    The rotate style rotates atoms around a rotation axis R = +(Rx,Ry,Rz) that goes thru a point P = (Px,Py,Pz). The period of +the rotation is also specified. This style also sets the velocity of +each atom to (omega cross Rperp) where omega is its angular velocity +around the rotation axis and Rperp is a perpendicular vector from the +rotation axis to the atom. If the defined +atom_style assigns an angular velocity to each atom, +then each atom's angular velocity is also set to omega. +

    +

    The variable style allows the position and velocity components of +each atom to be set by formulas specified via the +variable command. Each of the 6 variables is +specified as an argument to the fix as v_name, where name is the +name of the variable that appears elsewhere in the input script. +

    +

    Each variable must be of either the equal or atom style. +Equal-style variables compute a single numeric quantity, that can be +a function of the timestep as well as of other simulation values. +Atom-style variables compute a numeric quantity for each atom, that +can be a function per-atom quantities, such as the atom's position, as +well as of the timestep and other simulation values. See the +variable command for details. +

    +

    The first 3 variables (v_dx,v_dy,v_dz) specified for the variable +style are used to calculate a displacement from the atom's original +position at the time the fix was specified. The second 3 variables +(v_vx,v_vy,v_vz) specified are used to compute a velocity for each +atom. +

    +

    Any of the 6 variables can be specified as NULL. If both the +displacement and velocity variables for a particular x,y,z component +are specified as NULL, then the position and velocity of that +component is time integrated the same as the fix nve +command would perform, using the corresponding force component on the +atom. If only the velocity variable for a component is specified as +NULL, then the displacement variable will be used to set the position +of the atom, and its velocity component will not be changed. If only +the displacement variable for a component is specified as NULL, then +the velocity variable will be used to set the velocity of the atom, +and the position of the atom will be time integrated using that +velocity. +

    +

    The units keyword determines the meaning of the distance units used +to define the linear velocity and wiggle amplitude and rotate +origin. This setting is ignored for the variable style. A box +value selects standard units as defined by the units +command, e.g. velocity in Angstroms/fmsec and amplitude and position +in Angstroms for units = real. A lattice value means the velocity +units are in lattice spacings per time and the amplitude and position +are in lattice spacings. The lattice command must have +been previously used to define the lattice spacing. Each of these 3 +quantities may be dependent on the x,y,z dimension, since the lattice +spacings can be different in x,y,z. +

    +

    For rRESPA time integration, this fix adjusts the +position and velocity of atoms on the outermost rRESPA level. +

    Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info: +

    +

    This fix writes the original coordinates of moving atoms to binary +restart files, so that the motion can be continuous in a +restarted simulation. See the read_restart +command for info on how to re-specify a fix in an input script that +reads a restart file, so that the operation of the fix continues in an +uninterrupted fashion. +

    +

    None of the fix_modify options are relevant to this +fix. +

    +

    This fix produces a per-atom vector which can be accessed by various +output commands. The length of the vector +for each atom is 3, and the components store the original unwrapped +x,y,z coords of each atom. The per-atom values be accessed on any +timestep. +

    +

    This fix can move atoms continously over multiple runs, using the +start and stop keywords of the run command. See the +run command for details of how to do this. +

    This fix can change the position and velocity of the wall(s), due to +the wiggle keyword, continuously over multiple runs, using the +start and stop keywords of the run command. If you do +not do this, the wall position and velocity will be reset to its +initial values at the beginning of each run. +
