Bulk structure visualisation output

Dear Lammps users,

The input file (below) confirms that it produces right MgO bulk structure (the energy of optimised structure is extremely similar as other optimisation code (±1.0E10-3)

The input file only gives only unit cell structure visualisation file.

Is it possible to produce periodic structure visualisation file?
Such as, .cif etc.

Thanking you for your time and advice.

Kind regards,

Kang.

Absolute energies have no meaning in classical models.

Display of a periodically replicated simulation cell would be a feature of the visualization tool used.
All dump files containing the simulation cell parameters are suitable for that.

LAMMPS will only output what you simulate. Of course you are free to use the replicate command to generate a larger simulation box with replicated cells and correspondingly more atoms.
