[lammps-users] Problem with Centro/atom

Hi,
  we're trying to calculate the centro/atom for our system. When we
dump the values in the 22June07 version the values at t=0 are zeroed
and at t=500 they're very small (which is what we expect). However, if
we do the same with the latest 21May08 version (and in fact with
05Oct07 onwards), the dumped centro/atom values at t=0 are all around
19 and similar values appear at t=500.

An example input is given below, using one of the provided eam
potentials. Are we misusing the compute centro/atom command, or is
there a problem with the code?

Any help appreciated.

I don't see the same behavior. When I run your input script
with the most current version (fully patched), all the CSM values
are epsilon, not 19. This is on 1 or 8 procs of my desktop Dell linux
box. The log file is appended if you want to see if your run agrees.
