[lammps-users] liquid crystal input file

Hi,

I want to to simulate the phase transitions of a specific liquid crystal. What are deficiencies in the my input file?

Thanks

Hi, Ahmet:

As was mentioned yesterday, you need to provide more information in order to get useful help back from the list. For example, are you getting error messages, or does it run but you’re unsatisfied with the results? If the latter, what’s wrong with the results?

When I run the Gayberne I have the following result.

well, lammps already tells you what is wrong:
your "dump custom" command is not correct.

compare it to the documentation, correct it and you will be fine.
