per atom velocity

Hello all,

I have a system that involves different kinds of atoms and molecules. I want to continue my previous runs from the last restart file to compute the velocity of each atom/molecule in my system. The problem is that I didn’t assign molecule IDs to monatomic molecules in my data file and consequently I can’t use a molecule style in chunk command. Is there any other way?

I will be grateful if you could help me.

you can output per-atom velocities in a custom dump style as vx, vy
and vz properties.
velocities are also present in a separate data file sections, if you
convert a restart file into a data file.

Dear Axel,

Thanks for your answer. But I want per atom velocities which are averaged over the time and I think the two ways you suggested do not provide such values.
