[lammps-users] equilibrate

Hi,
I am trying to equilibrate two structures HCP (zinc) and BCC(Fe) in which the lower block is iron and the upper block is zinc. First I did with the two structures seperately and it is getting equilibrated. But when i tried with Fe-Zn they are not equilibrating. What may be the reason?
this is my code…

I think this line:
pair_coeff * * eam/fs ../shear/Fe_mm.eam.fs Fe Fe
should be
pair_coeff * * eam/fs ../shear/Fe_mm.eam.fs Fe NULL
but I don't know if it will make any difference.

When you say it doesn't equilibrate, what do you mean?
