Greetings,

are there possible ways for the code to report lost atoms with periodic boundary conditions?

​yes.​

Whether you use PBC or not, LAMMPS will error out when

you lose an atom. Unless you use thermo_modify lost to

warn or ignore. If you use ignore then you can “report”

whenever an atom is lost by printing the # of atoms with

thermo output. Or monitor it via a variable and fix ave/time

every timestep (if you wish). Note that atoms only become

“lost” on timesteps where reneighboring occurs.
