Description
"""""""""""
The *quartic* angle style uses the potential
.. math::
E = K_2 (\theta - \theta_0)^2 + K_3 (\theta - \theta_0)^3 + K_4 (\theta - \theta_0)^4
where :math:`\theta_0` is the equilibrium value of the angle, and :math:`K` is a
prefactor. Note that the usual 1/2 factor is included in :math:`K`.
The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
:doc:`angle_coeff <angle_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:
* :math:`\theta_0` (degrees)
* :math:`K_2` (energy)
* :math:`K_3` (energy)
* :math:`K_4` (energy)
:math:`\theta_0` is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to
radians internally; hence the various :math:`K` are effectively energy
per radian\^2 or radian\^3 or radian\^4.

This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
EXTRA-MOLECULE package. See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc
page for more info.
