9 pair_style zero command :h3
13 pair_style zero cutoff {nocoeff} :pre
15 zero = style name of this pair style
16 cutoff = global cutoff (distance units)
17 nocoeff = ignore all pair_coeff parameters (optional) :l
22 pair_style zero 5.0 nocoeff
24 pair_coeff 1 2*4 3.0 :pre
28 Define a global or per-type cutoff length for the purpose of
29 building a neighbor list and acquiring ghost atoms, but do
30 not compute any pairwise forces or energies.
32 This can be useful for fixes or computes which require a neighbor list
33 to enumerate pairs of atoms within some cutoff distance, but when
34 pairwise forces are not otherwise needed. Examples are the "fix
35 bond/create"_fix_bond_create.html, "compute rdf"_compute_rdf.html,
36 "compute voronoi/atom"_compute_voronoi_atom.html commands.
38 Note that the "comm_modify cutoff"_comm_modify.html command can be
39 used to insure communication of ghost atoms even when a pair style is
40 not defined, but it will not trigger neighbor list generation.
42 The optional {nocoeff} flag allows to read data files with a PairCoeff
43 section for any pair style. Similarly, any pair_coeff commands
44 will only be checked for the atom type numbers and the rest ignored.
45 In this case, only the global cutoff will be used.
47 The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
48 types via the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command as in the examples
49 above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
50 "read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
51 commands, or by mixing as described below:
53 cutoff (distance units) :ul
55 This coefficient is optional. If not specified, the global cutoff
56 specified in the pair_style command is used. If the pair_style has
57 been specified with the optional {nocoeff} flag, then a cutoff
58 pair coefficient is ignored.
62 [Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:
64 The cutoff distance for this pair style can be mixed. The default mix
65 value is {geometric}. See the "pair_modify" command for details.
67 This pair style does not support the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html
68 shift, table, and tail options.
70 This pair style writes its information to "binary restart
71 files"_restart.html, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
72 to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
74 This pair style can only be used via the {pair} keyword of the
75 "run_style respa"_run_style.html command. It does not support the
76 {inner}, {middle}, {outer} keywords.
