Description
"""""""""""
Apply a rigid-body integrator as described in :ref:`(Davidchack) <Davidchack4>`
to a group of atoms, but without Langevin dynamics.
This command performs Molecular dynamics (MD)
via a velocity-Verlet algorithm and an evolution operator that rotates
the quaternion degrees of freedom, similar to the scheme outlined in :ref:`(Miller) <Miller4>`.
This command is the equivalent of the :doc:`fix nve/dotc/langevin <fix_nve_dotc_langevin>`
without damping and noise and can be used to determine the stability range
in a NVE ensemble prior to using the Langevin-type DOTC-integrator
(see also :doc:`fix nve/dotc/langevin <fix_nve_dotc_langevin>`).
The command is equivalent to the :doc:`fix nve <fix_nve>`.
The particles are always considered to have a finite size.
An example input file can be found in /examples/PACKAGES/cgdna/examples/duplex1/.
Further details of the implementation and stability of the integrator are contained in :ref:`(Henrich) <Henrich4>`.
The preprint version of the article can be found `here <PDF/CG-DNA.pdf>`_.

Restrictions
""""""""""""
These pair styles can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
:ref:`CG-DNA <PKG-CG-DNA>` package and the MOLECULE and ASPHERE package.
See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` page for more info.
