[lammps-users] movie out of example files

Dear All,

I am new to LAMMPS but managed to build both LAMMPS and xmovie and run a couple of example files. However, when I try to create a movie out of the dump files what I get is a black screen without any atom or anything. I tried examples Indent, Crack, and Friction and all behaved the same way. I even tried to change the direction in the xmovie window and also used the -2d option with xmovie command but did not work either. Here are the commands I use:

lmp_serial <in.indent

xmovie -2d -scale dump.indent
and also
xmovie -scale dump.indent

Could any of you guys help me out of this trouble? By the way, are you guys aware of any webpage where I can download some sample problems solved by LAMMPS preferably accompanied by a publication?

Many thanks

Amir

Sometimes the 1st frame will not appear until you play the movie. If you
see nothing after that, then xmovie did not build correctly on your system.

Re: LAMMPS papers - try the Publications page on the WWW site.
