[lammps-users] The problem of fix addforce and units lj

Hello:
There is a problem in my simulation .I want to control a tip which has 5618 atoms move on a substrate by fix addforce 0 0 -0.01
command. the force of tip should be -56.18 in theory. when the units in lj,the force i apply to the tip output is -0.0004867525.
when i change the units to units metal or units real ,the force of tip is -56.18. is it the command units lj lead to the problem of
the tip force ? here is my in script and datafile:

When you use units LJ, the default for thermo
output is to normalize by the number of atoms.
If you don't want this then you can use
thermo_modify norm no. The default for metal
and real units is no.
