Mass problem

LAMMPS LAMMPS Mailing List Mirror

Good morning,

I have a question about mass setting. I set up an initial state with two types atom and the masses were also set like below:

Masses

1 1.0

2 1.0

My pushoff script is here:

units lj

atom_style sphere

read_data Hert/initial_state

pair_style granular

But it turns out error when it runs read_data:

Reading data file …

orthogonal box = (-5.92816 -5.92816 -5.92816) to (5.92816 5.92816 5.92816)

1 by 1 by 2 MPI processor grid

ERROR: Cannot set mass for this atom style (…/read_data.cpp:1715)

Last command: read_data Hert/initial_state

Best!

The sphere atom style does not use per type masses but has per atom masses that are inferred from the diameter and density settings. So you must not have a Masses section in the data file.
Please see the documentation of the read_data command and specifically what the content of the Atoms section for atom style sphere has to contain.
