Dear LAMMPS users,
I have minimized a 400300400 box with some internal structural defects using periodic boundary conditions in all directions. The size of the box has changed a bit after minimization because of the defects. Now, I want to read the file in another simulation, but I just need a part of the box with 400295400 dimensions and I have to make the boundary condition shrink-wrapped in the y direction. My question is how can I load just the part of the box I need using read_data command. Would it help If I define a region with desired size before read_data and then read my input file?
Thanks

no.
but you can read the entire system and then use the delete_atoms command (e.g. with a region) to delete those atoms that you don’t want.
