Hi, all,
I am trying to put atoms that meet a certain boolean condition to a group called “inwardatom”. This is the code:
variable eatom2 atom “(v_DH>50e-6)&&(v_inOut<0)”
group inwardatom variable eatom2
The error message says:
ERROR: Illegal group command (group.cpp:341)
Can anyone tell me what causes it?
Thanks a lot!
What is your LAMMPS version and what platform are you running on?
You need to provide more context, e.g. the complete log / screen output.
These two lines are syntactically correct. Are you sure the error is happening at this specific part of the input and not elsewhere?
Hi, Axel,
Thank you very much for your reply. The LIGGGHTS version I am using is 2.3.8. I am running it on the cluster.
Following is the complete log. Can you please check it for me? Thank you a lot.

This is a forum for LAMMPS and not LIGGGHTS. You have to check the LIGGGHTS documentation and ask in the LIGGGHTS forum for help. Since LIGGGHTS was forked from LAMMPS a long time ago, the error message is probably correct and the variable keyword not available.
