[lammps-users] the problem related with phase transition

Dear Lammps users,

I have the problem related with phase transition. My file is attach.
can you help me.
Thanks in advance

If you're getting NaNs on timestep 0 in your thermo output,
then your system is not intialized correctly - e.g. it has
overlaps.

Hi,

I ran for16x16x16 region(N=4096 particle) and density=0.02. I dont have any problem. When I ran for 8x8x8 region(N=512 particle) Program is giving error.

I am getting “nans” after on timestep 0.

Step Temp TotEng Press Volume PotEng

0 1.9 4.6993414e+35 -1.8551831e+39 1333.3333 4.6993414e+35

Dr.Roberto Berardi(works on liquid crystal) have got liquid crystal phase transition for N=512 and density=0.3 by monte carlo simulation but I dont obtain phase transition for N=512 and densitiy=0.3 by LAMMPS.

Thanks in advance

Your initial configuration is likely not correct, if the
timestep 0 energy is inifinite.

Hi,

Allrigt, how can I correct/adjust the initial configuration? can you help me

Thanks in advance

No - you have to setup a correct model for LAMMPS
to simulate it. It's unlikely anyone on the mail list
is going to help you learn MD. I'd suggset finding
a paper that does something similar to what you
want and starting with that.
