[lammps-users] addforce during minimization

Dear steve,

When I use add/aveforce command to give additional force to top/bottom surface atoms during minimization,

this does not make the atoms(top/bottom surface) to move along the force-direction.

I’ve checked that atoms position during minimization is not changed at all and stress(sigma_xy) value remains zero.

It works well during md run but not during minimization.

According to the manual, add/aveforce can also be invoked during minimization.

Would you please make any solution to this problem?

Best,

you are missing two if the most important items to get help quickly
when reporting a problem:

- which version of lammps are you running and on what platform?
- please provide an example that can easily reproduce the problem
