Description
"""""""""""
The *spica* angle style is a combination of the harmonic angle potential,
.. math::
E = K (\theta - \theta_0)^2
where :math:`\theta_0` is the equilibrium value of the angle and
:math:`K` a prefactor, with the *repulsive* part of the non-bonded
*lj/spica* pair style between the atoms 1 and 3. This angle potential is
intended for coarse grained MD simulations with the SPICA (formerly called SDK) parameterization
using the :doc:`pair_style lj/spica <pair_spica>`. Relative to the
pair_style *lj/spica*, however, the energy is shifted by
:math:`\epsilon`, to avoid sudden jumps. 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:
* :math:`K` (energy)
* :math:`\theta_0` (degrees)
:math:`\theta_0` is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to
radians internally; hence :math:`K` is effectively energy per
radian\^2.
The required *lj/spica* parameters are extracted automatically from the
pair_style.
Style *sdk*, the original implementation of style *spica*, is available
for backward compatibility.

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