compute ke/atom command
=======================
Syntax
""""""
.. parsed-literal::
compute ID group-ID ke/atom
* ID, group-ID are documented in :doc:`compute <compute>` command
* ke/atom = style name of this compute command
Examples
""""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
compute 1 all ke/atom
Description
"""""""""""
Define a computation that calculates the per-atom translational
kinetic energy for each atom in a group.
The kinetic energy is simply 1/2 m v\^2, where m is the mass and v is
the velocity of each atom.
The value of the kinetic energy will be 0.0 for atoms not in the
specified compute group.
Output info
"""""""""""
This compute calculates a per-atom vector, which can be accessed by
any command that uses per-atom values from a compute as input. See
the :doc:`Howto output <Howto_output>` page for an overview of
LAMMPS output options.
The per-atom vector values will be in energy :doc:`units <units>`.
