Dear authors and LAMMPS user
I want to equilibrate a (10,10) carbon nanotube system with NVE and want to check whether it is equilibrated or not. For this input files are: data.swnt1 and in.input1 and output files: log.lammps
By seeing the log file I can see that the energy is not changing at all. Its value is fixed. What I expect is initially for few time steps, the energy will vary and then as time goes on, energy will reach to some constant value ( may be a small oscillation in it). But the energy don’t change at all. So may I request you to kindly tell me how to equilibrate a system. Att the files I have attached with this email.
Thanking you
Sincerely yours

your atoms are practically not interacting (see E_pair) , so why
should there be much of a change in the structure and thus relaxation?
MD follows the GI-GO principle, i.e. garbage in, garbage out. use a
more meaningful model and parameters and you'll see a more meaningful
behavior.
this is not about equilibration, but about bad input.
If you dump forces you will see they are all tiny (10-12).
My guess is your epsilon value of 0.00284 is far too small
for meaningful interactions between atoms. Possibly
the cutoff is also too small, i.e. almost no pairs are interacting,

the *total* energy doesn't change, at is should in NVE. the *potential*
energy does. However, your parameters seem bogus to me: a binding energy of
-6.9365844e-13 kcal/mol in a nanotube? That's impoossible, your LJ
parameters need fixing.
