Hello all,
I am new to LAMMPS, and I need to write a code to integrate the ReaxFF force field into the LAMMPS platform. I understand that all I need to do is add a line to the makefile and put my files into the LAMMPS src folder, but I am concerned about where the output energy from this force field should be directed to. I would think it isn't enough to spit out a value with any variable name, and the rest of the program may have trouble recognizing the new energy.
I am not fluent in C++, and any help would be much appreciated.
The method for using ReaxFF is in the supporting information for this article:
