Dear Lammps users,
I just read the document about the fix bond/swap.
I found the IMPORTANT NOTES:
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your simulation uses molecule IDs in the usual way, where all monomers
on a single chain are assigned the same ID (different for each chain), then swaps will only occur
within the same chain and will NOT conserve chain length. This is probably not what you want for
this fix.
I donot understant why the chain length could not be conserved.
I think the chain length should be conserved since the swaps only occur within the same chain.
That means no bead would be lost.
Am I right?
Thank you and looking forward to explanation.
Best wishes,
Zhiwei Cui
