OVITO

  1. write the following lines into a file and open in ovito as a lammps dump file
ITEM: TIMESTEP
0
ITEM: NUMBER OF ATOMS
2
ITEM: BOX BOUNDS pp pp pp
0.0000000000000000e+00 1.1234567800000000e+01
0.0000000000000000e+00 1.8765432100000001e+01

1 1 11.9254 12.3339 8.38148
2 2 8.75807 8.5786 4.09234
  1. export as lammps dump, do not check the “restricted triclinic…” option
  2. open the exported file in a text editor, and note that the box size section is messed up (missing spaces):
ITEM: BOX BOUNDS abc origin pp pp pp
11.2345678 0.0 0.00.0
0.0 18.7654321 0.00.0
0.0 0.0 10.55555555560.5555555556

Yes, I can confirm this is a bug in the lammps dump file exporter of OVITO. Thank you for reporting it. We’ll fix it as soon as possible - in the upcoming OVITO 3.13.1 release.
