[lammps-users] group/group command

Dear Sabine,

If the potential you use has coulombic interactions only till a cutoff, you can use the compute group/group command.
If it has a long range component, that contribution will not be given by compute group/group.

See the restrictions described:
(http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/compute_group_group.html)

Restrictions:

Only pairwise interactions, as defined by the pair_style command, are included in this calculation. Bond (angle, dihedral, etc) interactions between atoms in the two groups are not included. Long-range interactions due to a kspace_style command are also not included. Not all pair potentials can be evaluated in a pairwise mode as required by this compute. For example, 3-body potentials, such as Tersoff and Stillinger-Weber cannot be used. EAM potentials for metals only include the pair potential portion of the EAM interaction, not the embedding term.

Best,
Mario

Additionally, you would want to put one or more colloids in one
group, and the solvent particles in the other, to use compute group/group.
