angle_style cosine/delta command
================================
Accelerator Variants: *cosine/delta/omp*
Syntax
""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
angle_style cosine/delta
Examples
""""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
angle_style cosine/delta
angle_coeff 2*4 75.0 100.0
Description
"""""""""""
The *cosine/delta* angle style uses the potential
.. math::
E = K [1 - \cos(\theta - \theta_0)]
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:`K` (energy)
* :math:`\theta_0` (degrees)
:math:`\theta_0` is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to radians
internally.

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