Problem of temperature compute degrees of freedom < 0 by using fix rigid/npt/samll and rigid/npt ?

I Really thanks for your helps.According to your suggestions and provide solutions, we successfully solve the rigid problem of calculation of rigid body temperature.
1. add the following two lines
>compute thermo all temp/asphere
>thermo_modify temp thermo

2.download the updated sources for compute_erotate_rigid.cpp and
compute_ke_rigid.cpp from the LAMMPS-ICMS repository here:
http://git.lammps.org/git/?p=lammps-icms.git;a=tree;f=src/RIGID;hb=HEAD

We use fix it rigid/NPT/small and rigid/npt to calculate but there is an error message (Temperature compute degrees of freedom < 0 (…/compute_temp.cpp:101)****).As following,

group RIGID molecule 1:3000

compute RIGID RIGID temp
velocity all create 300.0 333

neighbor 5.0 bin
timestep 0.5
thermo 1000
compute thermo all temp/asphere
thermo_modify temp thermo

fix 1 RIGID rigid/npt/small molecule temp 300.0 300.0 10.0 iso 1 1 1 #not ok

If there is a wrong rigid body in calculation when the rigid/NPT?

Dear Axel and Trung,

  I Really thanks for your helps.According to your suggestions and provide
solutions, we successfully solve the rigid problem of calculation of rigid
body temperature.
1. add the following two lines

compute thermo all temp/asphere
thermo_modify temp thermo

2.download the updated sources for compute_erotate_rigid.cpp and
compute_ke_rigid.cpp from the LAMMPS-ICMS repository here:
http://git.lammps.org/git/?p=lammps-icms.git;a=tree;f=src/RIGID;hb=HEAD

We use fix it rigid/NPT/small and rigid/npt to calculate but there is an
error message (Temperature compute degrees of freedom < 0
(../compute_temp.cpp:101)).As following,

group RIGID molecule 1:3000
compute RIGID RIGID temp
velocity all create 300.0 333
neighbor 5.0 bin
timestep 0.5
thermo 1000
compute thermo all temp/asphere
thermo_modify temp thermo
fix 1 RIGID rigid/npt/small molecule temp 300.0 300.0 10.0 iso 1
1 1 #not ok

If there is a wrong rigid body in calculation when the rigid/NPT?

no. the error message comes from a "compute temp" command.
the whole purpose of step 1. was to switch away from compute temp to
compute temp/asphere, as compute temp only considers point particles,
why you have aspherical extended particles with 3 additional degrees
of freedom per particles that compute temp does not consider, but fix
rigid will (correctly) remove, if they are taken away due to forming a
rigid body.

you have the command right there.

Sorry,I didn’t describe the problem more accurately and cause you misunderstood.

Dear Axel

​what you have below is a *different* input from what you quoted previously.
don't blame me to misunderstand, when you are giving me *wrong*
information.​

*We use fix it rigid/NPT/small and rigid/npt to calculate but there is an

*(Temperature compute degrees of freedom < 0** (../compute_temp.cpp:101)*
*).*
*If there is a wrong rigid body in calculation when the rigid/NPT? *

​no.​ but you *must not* use compute temp for extended bodies.

​the langevin option in rigid fixes and the temperature management in the
rigid/npt and rigid/nvt fixes work differently.
in the first case, the temperature for the rotational and translational
degrees of freedom are computed internally from the internal information
about the rigid objects and then adjusted. in the second case, an external
temperature compute is used. by default, same as for the thermo output,
this compute assumes point particles and thus you'll get the error
messages, when you apply the rigid fix to objects with additional degrees
of freedom.

so the obviously missing command here is:

fix_modify 1 temp ​thermo

Dear Axel,

Thanks,I according to your suggestions for rigid/NPT and rigid/NPT/small calculation is available.
As follow, but results of temp ,ke, and ke_rot are NaN Value

neighbor 2.0 bin
timestep 0.5
thermo 1000
compute thermo all temp/asphere
thermo_modify temp thermo

fix 1 RIGID rigid/npt/small molecule temp 300.0 300.0 10.0 iso 1 1 1 #NPT ok

fix_modify 1 temp ​thermo ------->> Add in #

compute rigid_ke RIGID ke/rigid 1
compute rigid_rot RIGID erotate/rigid 1
variable total_ke equal “c_rigid_ke+c_rigid_rot” #translational Ke +rotational Ke
variable dof equal 63000 # # each dimer has 6 dof
variable boltz equal 1.987e-3 # Boltzmann constant in units real: 1.987e-3 kcal/mol/K
variable rigid_temp equal "2.0
v_total_ke/v_dof/v_boltz"

outputs:

Something wrong?
