Varying force in each time step.

Dear all,

I want to simulate Langevin dynamics of a sphere. But I want to apply a variable force along the z-direction. Actually, I have a set of force values (10,000 values) and I want to vary that force values in each time step of the simulation. For that, I am using `` setforce 0 0 v_force’’ where v_force is the variable. I am trying to use 'next ’ command for the variable v_force. But for a few values, it is possible to write in the script. But I have 10,000 values written in a different text file. I got stuck. Can you please help.

regards

please check out the documentation for the variable command and look for “file” or “atomfile” style variables depending on whether you have an equal or atom style variable currently.
