angle_style cosine/shift command
================================
Accelerator Variants: *cosine/shift/omp*
Syntax
""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
angle_style cosine/shift
Examples
""""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
angle_style cosine/shift
angle_coeff * 10.0 45.0
Description
"""""""""""
The *cosine/shift* angle style uses the potential
.. math::
E = -\frac{U_{\text{min}}}{2} \left[ 1 + \cos(\theta-\theta_0) \right]
where :math:`\theta_0` is the equilibrium angle. The potential is bounded
between :math:`-U_{\text{min}}` and zero. In the neighborhood of the minimum
:math:`E = - U_{\text{min}} + U_{\text{min}}/4(\theta - \theta_0)^2` hence
the spring constant is :math:`\frac{U_{\text{min}}}{2}`.
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:`U_{\text{min}}` (energy)
* :math:`\theta` (angle)

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.
