Hi,
I found some intersting phenomenon when i ran the attached input file.
(1) i got different results of the pressure when I ran it with different processors.
(2)when i change the temperature from 100 to 8000,it ran normally in the first dozens steps,but suddenly broke down,I think if the input file can ran in the first steps,then the structure will be more reasonable in the later steps(so-called relaxation).but it was collapsed.why?
the varied part of the below input file
velocity all create 8000.0 123456789 dist gaussian units box
set fixes
fix 1 all nve
fix 3 all temp/berendsen 8000.0 8000.0 0.005
(3) in the manual,about the pair_style airebo command
in the part of Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info:
it said that:
This pair style can only be used via the pair keyword of the run_style respa command. It does not support the inner, middle, outer keywords.
run_style verlet
I don’t really understand this sentence. i think it means that the pair style airebo can used with run style velert or run style respa . but when used “run style respa”, it can only used with this:run_style respa 4 2 2 2 pair 3
is it right?
(4) when i simulat the carbon atom deposited to the surface of diamond substrate,after one carbon atom collided with the surface, the TotEng changed slightly .but at some point, the sign of TotEng altered from negative(-14800.763) to positive (3796.5833). runing the same script with tersoff potential gives good results.

I don’t know the reason.is there some bug in the potentail of airebo ?
