Style dpd/tstat invokes a DPD thermostat on pairwise interactions, which is equivalent to the non-conservative portion of the DPD force -field. This thermostat can be used in conjunction with any pair -style, and in leiu of per-particle thermostats like -fix langevin or ensemble thermostats like Nose -Hoover as implemented by fix nvt. To use dpd/stat -with another pair style, use the pair_style +field. This pair-wise thermostat can be used in conjunction with any +pair style, and in leiu of per-particle thermostats +like fix langevin or ensemble thermostats like +Nose Hoover as implemented by fix nvt. To use +dpd/stat as a thermostat for another pair style, use the pair_style hybrid/overlay command to compute both the desired pair interaction and the thermostat for each pair of particles.
