Visualize LAMMPS snapshots
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Snapshots from LAMMPS simulations can be viewed, visualized, and
|
|
analyzed in a variety of ways.
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS snapshots are created by the :doc:`dump <dump>` command, which
|
|
can create files in several formats. The native LAMMPS dump format is a
|
|
text file (see "dump atom" or "dump custom") which can be visualized by
|
|
`several visualization tools <https://www.lammps.org/viz.html>`_ for MD
|
|
simulation trajectories. `OVITO <https://www.ovito.org>`_ and `VMD
|
|
<https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd>`_ seem to be the most popular
|
|
choices among them.
|
|
|
|
The :doc:`dump image <dump_image>` and :doc:`dump movie <dump_image>`
|
|
styles can output internally rendered images or convert them to a movie
|
|
during the MD run.
|
|
|
|
Programs included with LAMMPS as auxiliary tools can convert
|
|
between LAMMPS format files and other formats. See the :doc:`Tools
|
|
<Tools>` page for details. These are rarely needed these days.
