How to add external cyclic electric field in lammps

LAMMPS LAMMPS Beginners
1

My simulation in lammps to apply external cyclic electric field is prompted: Dump custom fix does not compute per-atom info; how do I solve this problem? Do I need to add any commands?

First you need to isolate the issue. Your reported error is about a dump command and not about applying an electric field.

Without more specific information it is near impossible to provide specific advice.

Well, you obviously have to remove the f_Etetra references from your dump command. You can only dump per-atom data.

5

In that case, how do I output the value of the electric field?

6

There are multiple ways to output data with LAMMPS: 8.3.1. Output from LAMMPS (thermo, dumps, computes, fixes, variables) — LAMMPS documentation

For example, you can output global scalar values as thermo output or with fix print.
