Cannot set per-type mass for atom style sphere

LAMMPS LAMMPS General Discussion
1

The lammps version is lammps-stable_2Aug2023_update2.

When I try to read pair_coeff of par_style “eam/alloy” with atom style “sphere”, the error occurs which told me that “cannot set per-type mass for atom style sphere (src/MANYBODY/pair_eam_alloy.cpp:96)”. However, I cannot find it when I read the file “src/MANYBODY/pair_eam_alloy.cpp” . What does it mean and what can I do to solve this problem?

First you should explain why you want to use atom style sphere with an EAM potential.
