[lammps-users] 2. compute stress/atom (Gaurav Pranami)

I have done a similiar simulation,with 108 atoms .I have noticed that the simulation result is relative with the initial configuration and number of atoms.may it will help you.

>?I have been trying to extract the kinetic energy that is being exchanged between the "hot" and "cold" layer in the thermal conductivity computation. The documentation page for the fix thermal/conductivity command mentions that the cumulative kinetic energy being exchanged between the hot and cold layer is stored as a scalar quantity. But I am not clear on what is the name for this scalar and how I would access it. I looked at fix_thermal_conductivity.cpp file and see a variable "ke" being computed. But I am not sure if "ke" is the variable I should be printing out via a thermo_style command. Also, I assume I should only be looking for the kinetic energy being swapped and not the kinetic energy of the whole system.
