sorry, you can only run LAMMPS with the input files
provided in the distribution ... no, wait,
we decided that was too limiting :slight_smile:

If you ran the example as
lmp_machine < in.shear
then you should be able to just replace it with your file
lmp_machine < in.shear.blah

Note the "<" - if you leave it out, LAMMPS will do nothing

If you get an error message, then it is reading your new
file and complaining.
