Hi,
during a gcmc simulation, I produce density of gas per step. I would produce other column with the average density for every n-th step: for second step the average between the first and second, the third as the average between the first, the second, the third, and so on.
I’m a young user of lammps, and on manual I found the keyword fix ave/time command. It’s a good idea to produce the results that I wish, or exist other procedure, or it’s not possible during lammps run?

The fix ave/time command can do averaging with a moving window or cummulative
ave, see its doc page and keywords.

Hi,
I define a variable
variable dal equal atoms/vol
and I use fix ave/time as
fix avload all ave/time 1 100000 1 v_dal ave one, where 100000 is the total steps of my simulation
but I obtain message error
ERROR: Illegal fix ave/time command
Al
hi,
I tried to define
variable dal equal atoms/vol (in real units)
and
fix avload all ave/time 1 1 1 v_dal file ave.log
to obtain the comulative average loading
in my case 100 points
the file ave.log report a wrong average
1 0.1
2 0.3
3 0.0
.
I expect that
Step. Atoms. Vol. Density. Av
Av = ( 0.1+ 0.3) /2 = 0.2
I must define manually expression to calculate it. I can print the results in themo_style ?

Re: your previous Q:
fix avload all ave/time 1 100000 1
is invalid, hence the error. See the fix ave/time doc
page about how to define those 3 numeric values. The
last one would have to be >= 100000 in this case.
Re: your unexpected output.
I imagine you can debug this yourself
Print v_dal with thermo output. Verify it
is what you expect at each timestep.
Then output it with fix ave/time with no averaging.
See if the values are the same.
Then expt with some averaging, and check by
hand that the values you now get are the averages
of the single timestep values. Etc, etc.

Hi steve,
thank for your reply. After some test I produced a correct average loading calculated on total number of steps. It’s a very good results for me.
I think that is not possible produce an average for every steps iteratively.
For this I think that is necessary define function with ‘ave’ and ‘sum’ with c++ syntax

Hi steve,
after some tests I produced average for all steps on my simulation, but I think that to produce iterative average loding per steps, I would write a function with ‘sum’ and ‘mean’ in syntax c++

The “ave” keyword for fix ave/time has an option for
“running”, which should produce averages for any
length run.

Thanks,
I noticed that the atoms created fall down immediately.
I think that the problem is the set of velocity or the timestep of my simulation…
