Description
"""""""""""
The *umbrella* improper style uses the following potential, which is
commonly referred to as a classic inversion and used in the
:doc:`DREIDING <Howto_bioFF>` force field:
.. math::
E = & \frac{1}{2}K\left( \frac{1}{\sin\omega_0}\right) ^2 \left( \cos\omega - \cos\omega_0\right) ^2 \qquad \omega_0 \neq 0^o \\
E = & K\left( 1-cos\omega\right) \qquad \omega_0 = 0^o
where :math:`K` is the force constant and :math:`\omega` is the angle between the IL
axis and the IJK plane:

:align: center
If :math:`\omega_0 = 0` the potential term has a minimum for the planar
structure. Otherwise it has two minima at :math:`\omega +/- \omega_0`,
with a barrier in between.
See :ref:`(Mayo) <umbrella-Mayo>` for a description of the DREIDING force field.
The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
the :doc:`improper_coeff <improper_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:`\omega_0` (degrees)

This improper 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.
