[lammps-users] restart2data tool with dpd/tstat

Dear all,

I wanted to change the boundary types after reading in a restart file
in LAMMPS, but it doesn't seem to allow this. So the solution was to
convert the restart file to a data file and then use this to restart.

However, the restart2data tool doesn't see to support dpd/tstat.

Can anyone confirm this?

Downloaded the latest version of LAMMPS (24 Nov 2010) which seems to
have a 10 Sept 2010 date. I'm not sure when dpd/tstat was added.

Guess I'll just write the velocities and coordinates out separately
and put into a data file.

Thanks.

Josh

Sorry, mean to that the restart2data tool had a 10 Sept 2010 data in
the 24 Nov 2010 version of LAMMPS.

this is usually not a problem. the date string in restart2data.cpp
only gets updated, if a change is added. however, not everbody
remembers to update restart2data.cpp when a new pair style is
added and dpd/tstat seems to be missing.

i'll be updating restart2data.cpp later today, can you send me
a test input to generate a suitable restart file? best is a restart
written before doing a "run" so that its data file after the conversion
would have to result in the same initial energy.

thanks,

Looks like Axel took care of this (thanks!)
for dpd/tstat and other new potentials -
a new restart2data version is in the 24Nov10
patch.
