Resonance script

Dear all,

I’m trying to sep up a script to study the resonance phenomena in nanowires and nanotubes. As a first approximation I’m using the fix move along with the wiggle option.

The problem is that I’m not quite sure about how to apply this fix. I paste you my script here in case somebody could give me some guidance. The script is for a first attempt, meaning that neither the geometry or the values for the fix move have any physical sense.

Thanks

Daniel

The best way to use fix move is to setup
a small system, apply the fix, dump out
atom coords and visualize it to see if the
atoms are moving as you expect.
