Use .frc files directly

Dear LAMMPS users,

Can we use .frc files in LAMMPS directly, or do we have to insert the parameters manually?

Thanks,

Neither.

You first need to build a geometry and topology file for your system and apply force field specific atom types and partial charges. For frc style force field files this is typically done with a software like materials studio. Then you can use the msi2lmp tool to generate a LAMMPS data file and input template from those.
