Stress for nanoclusters

Hi,

I wants to calculate stress per atom for icosahedral nanoclusters using EAM potentials, I already searched lammps mail list and found some help. I just wants to confirm if I understood correctly or not.

So, first I have to compute :

compute ke_a all ke/atom
compute pe_a all pe/atom

and then

compute 2 all pe/atom pair bond
compute 3 all reduce sum c_mystress[1] c_mystress[2] c_mystress[3]

If I understood correctly we compute reduce sum to reduce vector input into scalar values, right?

and then to dump

dump 2 stress all custom 100 dump1.dat id type x y z c_pe_a v_e_tot vx vy vz c_mystress[1] c_mystress[2] c_mystress[3]

is this the correct method?

I would apperciate your suggestions/comments.

Thanks!

Best,
Ali

no.

c_mystress[1] c_mystress[2] c_mystress[3]

you just showed random and inconsistent pieces of input. none of that
actually computes the stress per atom.

I would apperciate your suggestions/comments.

you need to read the documentation more and pay less attention to the
mailing list.
