.. index:: compute ke/atom
compute ke/atom command
=======================
Syntax
""""""
.. parsed-literal::
compute ID group-ID ke/atom
* ID, group-ID are documented in :doc:`compute <compute>` command
* ke/atom = style name of this compute command
Examples
""""""""
.. parsed-literal::
compute 1 all ke/atom
Description
"""""""""""
Define a computation that calculates the per-atom translational
kinetic energy for each atom in a group.
The kinetic energy is simply 1/2 m v^2, where m is the mass and v is
the velocity of each atom.
The value of the kinetic energy will be 0.0 for atoms not in the
specified compute group.
**Output info:**
This compute calculates a per-atom vector, which can be accessed by
any command that uses per-atom values from a compute as input. See
:ref:`Section_howto 15 <howto_15>` for an overview of
LAMMPS output options.
The per-atom vector values will be in energy :doc:`units <units>`.
