hello everyone
I have a simple question: why read_start command cannot be used after a create_box command? It’s all right to be used after a read_data command. In this regard, what’s the difference between defining a box using read_data and create_box command?
best wishes.

hello everyone
I have a simple question: why read_start command cannot be used after a
create_box command?
because read_restart will need to change settings that can only be changed
before the simulation box is defined and then will also define the
simulation box.
It's all right to be used after a read_data command.
that statement cannot be correct for reasons of how LAMMPS works
internally.
In this regard, what's the difference between defining a box using
read_data and create_box command?
there is none and you *cannot* use read_restart after read_data or after
*any* operation that creates a simulation box unless you use the clear
command which will undo *all* settings including the simulation box.
i challenge you to produce an input that contradicts this statement.
