Changing the Initial Kinetic Energy

Hello,

I was wondering if it’s possible to set the initial KE of a system in LAMMPS? I’m running an NPH simulation of Si with Tersoff potential, and I’m trying to run the simulation with varied initial energy levels.

Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Thank you,

Yes, please have a look at the velocity command, http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/velocity.html

Have you looked at the velocity command?
