2 different cutoff distances for VdW and Coulomb interactions

LAMMPS LAMMPS Mailing List Mirror

Dear all,

I have a question regarding to the neighbor list generation: If one chooses 2 different cut-off distance values for VdW and Coulomb interactions, does it mean that LAMMPS will make 2 different neighbor lists for each of the interactions?

Best,

not normally. only under very special conditions.
- you have to use pair_style hybrid or hybrid/overlay
- you have to use the multi neighborlist style

most regular pair potentials are written to just loop
over a single neighbor list.
