Hi,

The list of standard packages:

Section 4.1 at http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/Section_packages.html

lists the following packages and their library dependencies as:



Package

Description

Author(s)

Doc page

Example

Library


KIM

openKIM potentials

Smirichinski & Elliot & Tadmor (3)

pair_style kim

kim

lib/kim


MEAM

modified EAM potential

Greg Wagner (Sandia)

pair_style meam

meam

KIM

Not “lib/kim” and “KIM” as dependencies in the library column. However, the lammps distribution I have (lammps-11Jul13 ) does not contain a lib/kim directory while it does contain a lib/meam directory.

Is this a mistake in the documentation of Section 4.1? It seems from elsewhere in the documentation that the KIM package is dependent on the external library from openkim.org rather than a lib/kim provided as part of the lammps distribution and that the MEAM package is dependent on the lib/meam provided as part of the lammps distribution rather than “KIM” as shown in the table at Section 4.1?

Best Regards,

Paul.

you are correct. this is a typo in the documentation. you need to
download and install OpenKIM, but lib/meam is bundled with LAMMPS.
