fix nvt/manifold/rattle command :h3

[Syntax:]

fix ID group-ID nvt/manifold/rattle tol maxit manifold manifold-args keyword value ... :pre

ID, group-ID are documented in "fix"_fix.html command :ulb,l
nvt/manifold/rattle = style name of this fix command  :l
tol = tolerance to which Newton iteration must converge :l
maxit = maximum number of iterations to perform :l
manifold = name of the manifold :l
manifold-args = parameters for the manifold :l
one or more keyword/value pairs may be appended :l
keyword = {temp} or {tchain} or {every}
  {temp} values = Tstart Tstop Tdamp
    Tstart, Tstop = external temperature at start/end of run
    Tdamp = temperature damping parameter (time units)
  {tchain} value = N
    N = length of thermostat chain (1 = single thermostat)
  {every} value = N
    N = print info about iteration every N steps. N = 0 means no output :pre
:ule

[Examples:]

fix 1 all nvt/manifold/rattle 1e-4 10 cylinder 3.0 temp 1.0 1.0 10.0

[Description:]

This fix combines the RATTLE-based "(Andersen)"_#Andersen2 time
integrator of "fix nve/manifold/rattle"_fix_nve_manifold_rattle.html
"(Paquay)"_#Paquay3 with a Nose-Hoover-chain thermostat to sample the
canonical ensemble of particles constrained to a curved surface
(manifold). This sampling does suffer from discretization bias of
O(dt).  For a list of currently supported manifolds and their
parameters, see the "Howto manifold"_Howto_manifold.html doc page.

[Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:]

No information about this fix is written to "binary restart
files"_restart.html.  None of the "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html options
are relevant to this fix.  No global or per-atom quantities are stored
by this fix for access by various "output commands"_Howto_output.html.
No parameter of this fix can be used with the {start/stop} keywords of
the "run"_run.html command.  This fix is not invoked during "energy
minimization"_minimize.html.

[Restrictions:]

This fix is part of the USER-MANIFOLD package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package.  See the "Build
package"_Build_package.html doc page for more info.
