Description
"""""""""""
.. versionadded:: 15Sep2022
The *mesocnt* bond style is a wrapper for the :doc:`harmonic
<bond_harmonic>` style, and uses the potential
.. math::
E = K (r - r_0)^2
where :math:`r_0` is the equilibrium bond distance. Note that the
usual 1/2 factor is included in :math:`K`. The style implements
parameterization presets of :math:`K` for mesoscopic simulations of
carbon nanotubes based on the atomistic simulations of
:ref:`(Srivastava) <Srivastava_1>`.
Other presets can be readily implemented in the future.
The following coefficients must be defined for each bond type via the
:doc:`bond_coeff <bond_coeff>` command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the :doc:`read_data
<read_data>` or :doc:`read_restart <read_restart>` commands:
* preset = *C* or *custom*
* additional parameters depending on preset
Preset *C* is for carbon nanotubes, and the additional parameters are:
* chiral index :math:`n` (unitless)
* chiral index :math:`m` (unitless)
* :math:`r_0` (distance)
Preset *custom* is simply a direct wrapper for the :doc:`harmonic
<bond_harmonic>` style, and the additional parameters are:
* :math:`K` (energy/distance\^2)
* :math:`r_0` (distance)

This bond style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the MOLECULE
and MESONT packages. See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>`
page for more info.
