Problem about 2d simulation

LAMMPS LAMMPS Mailing List Mirror
1

Hi Lammps users,

I want to use reaxff potential to simulate 2d BCN. When I set dimension 2, bond start to break at the first step of minimization. When I set dimension 3, bond are not break, but after I give the initial velocity 10k, and run NVE, the temperature keep increasing over 1000k. Can anyone help me to check that where I got wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Peng

Please first visualize your structure. If your structure has bad geometry then there will be high energy, which will produce large forces, which result in significant accelerations, which impart high particle velocities, which in-turn give temperatures shooting up or boxes blowing apart. This type of behavior has been addressed many times and is one of the most common problems that hits the mailing list. Is there a particular reason you want to simulate in 2d? Just because a single BCN layer is considered 2d does not mean that it needs to be simulated in a 2d scheme… What are you actually trying to study? What have other people done?

Best,
Dyaln
