[lammps-users] Simulating heating rate in Lammps

Dear LAMMPS-users

I try to simulate effect of heating rates on metal/alloy cluster behaviours. Can I fix sytem at NVE and rescale temperature every fixed time interval to achieve the simulation? I doubt that combination of established LAMMPS commands is able to simulate a natural heating process. I am sorry to ask such a technical question straightforward. Anyone has experience about this ? Any reply will be greatly apprciated.

3 ways to thermostat in LAMMPS:

1) fix NVE + fix temp/rescale
2) fix NVT
3) fix NVE + fix langevin
