Number of atoms

Hi,
I ran a Uniaxial Tension tutorial [1] successfully. The tutorial uses 4000 atoms. How can I increase the number of atoms? Any guide?

impossible to say based on this limited amount of information.
but you can look up the commands in the tutorial inputs (BTW: what is
[1]???) in the LAMMPS manual and read what is written about them. the
answer should become obvious to you.

Sorry I didn’t paste the link. I mean https://icme.hpc.msstate.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Uniaxial_Tension

Should I perform a preprocess in order to prepare a larger input file for lammps? I want to create a large file which allocates the memory in the order of gigabyte. With 4000 atoms in the tutorial, each core allocates about 20MB! which is not suitable for my tests. I am doing some computer tests.

why don't you just do what i suggested?

OK. From the manual, command description and some pages on the web, I found the following things:
1- Increasing the number of atoms by modifying "region" command

region whole block 0 10 0 10 0 10

So, instead of 10, I wrote another number. After that, by running lammps, I see that it report X atoms and then I can play with the numbers. Though I haven't figure out the relation between the numbers in the region and the total number of atoms.

2- Increasing the box size with "lattice" command. I can create a bigger box by changing the numbers.

Overall, by modifying those number, I can see the computation and memory effects. Am I in the right direction?
