[lammps-users] Question of input file

Dear all users,

I made in.meam following manual and advices from mailinglist.
But I am not guarantee my in.meam is correct or not.
Please check my in.meam
I want to simulate W cluster heating gradually and annealing quickly with fixed the base part of whole structure.
Thank you in advance

Heesung Choi

have you tried running it?

it violates several very elementary rules of lammps input
scripts. please read the documentation and try to understand
your mistakes.

secondly, please apply the basic rule for learning a new tool:
build your input step by step and verify at each step that the
system is doing what you want it to do. if you lump all together
with lots of guesswork, it is next to impossible to work and you
will have a very hard time to find out _where_ you made a mistake.

I want to simulate W cluster heating gradually and annealing quickly
with fixed the base part of whole structure.

don't you think that running for 500 MD steps is a bit short?
have you considered what would be a reasonable heating rate?
