Loading in Lammps

Dear all,
Hi, I hope you are well.
Does loading in Lammps need to be done in the presence of a thermostat, I mean NVT or NPT or …?

Thanks,
Nili

If you mean mechanical loading, then yes, you will need a thermostat like NVT or NPT (I recommend NPT so that you get Poisson contraction).

Thanks dear professor!
