bond_style zero command

Syntax

bond_style zero

Examples

bond_style zero
bond_coeff *

Description

Using an bond style of zero means bond forces and energies are not computed, but the geometry of bond pairs is still accessible to other commands.

As an example, the compute bond/local command can be used to compute distances for the list of pairs of bond atoms listed in the data file read by the read_data command. If no bond style is defined, this command cannot be used.

Note that the bond_coeff command must be used for all bond types, though no additional values are specified.

Restrictions

none
