Dear LAMMPS Users,
in a recent simulation I 've created a 10x10x10 Cu-supercell which I relaxed using cg-minimization, followed by pressure compensation using a berendsen barostat. After several of these steps, I’ve heated the supercell to a certain temperature (e.g. 43 K) with NVE and the berendsen barostat aktivated (I know I could’ve used NPT instead…).
Now to my actual question: When looking at the atom coordinates, a colleague of mine found that some of them had normalized coordinates greater than 1. How is this possible, considering I’ve used periodic boundary conditions? I always thought atoms with x,y or z > 1 are remapped back into the simbox boundaries.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Patrick
