[lammps-users] about angular momentum!

Dear support, in my simulation I need to print out the angular momentum of the center of mass due to a specific group of atoms along the simulation. In the variable command I do not fount this possibility.
How can I perform that print?

You'd have to extend the variable.cpp yourself, or write a compute to do it.
Or post-process it.

There was already a group function to compute this, so it was
trivial to add - the 19May patch added a angmom() function
to the variable syntax - try it out ...

Steve

Ok thanks, if it’s not a great effort it is possible to add also inertia and omega so that it is possible to access to all the functions in the groups.h

I'll put it on the list, but you have the code, so have at it.

Added an inertia() and omega() function for group/region
to the variable command. See the 30May10 patch.
