compute pe/atom command :h3

[Syntax:]

compute ID group-ID pe/atom keyword ... :pre

ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
pe/atom = style name of this compute command
zero or more keywords may be appended
keyword = {pair} or {bond} or {angle} or {dihedral} or {improper} or {kspace} :ul

[Examples:]

compute 1 all pe/atom
compute 1 all pe/atom pair
compute 1 all pe/atom pair bond :pre

[Description:]

Define a computation that computes the per-atom potential energy for
each atom in a group.  See the "compute pe"_compute_pe.html command if
you want the potential energy of the entire system.

The per-atom energy is calculated by the various pair, bond, etc
potentials defined for the simulation.  If no extra keywords are
listed, then the potential energy is the sum of pair, bond, angle,
dihedral,improper, and kspace energy.  If any extra keywords are
listed, then only those components are summed to compute the potential
energy.

Note that the energy of each atom is due to its interaction with all
other atoms in the simulation, not just with other atoms in the group.

For an energy contribution produced by a small set of atoms (e.g. 4
atoms in a dihedral or 3 atoms in a Tersoff 3-body interaction), that
energy is assigned in equal portions to each atom in the set.
E.g. 1/4 of the dihedral energy to each of the 4 atoms.

The "dihedral_style charmm"_dihedral_charmm.html style calculates
pairwise interactions between 1-4 atoms.  The energy contribution of
these terms is included in the pair energy, not the dihedral energy.

The KSpace contribution is calculated using the method in
"(Heyes)"_#Heyes for the Ewald method and a related method for PPPM,
as specified by the "kspace_style pppm"_kspace_style.html command.
For PPPM, the calcluation requires 1 extra FFT each timestep that
per-atom energy is calculated.  Thie "document"_PDF/kspace.pdf
describes how the long-range per-atom energy calculation is performed.

As an example of per-atom potential energy compared to total potential
energy, these lines in an input script should yield the same result
in the last 2 columns of thermo output:

compute		peratom all pe/atom
compute		pe all reduce sum c_peratom
thermo_style	custom step temp etotal press pe c_pe :pre

IMPORTANT NOTE: The per-atom energy does not any Lennard-Jones tail
corrections invoked by the "pair_modify tail yes"_pair_modify.html
command, since those are global contributions to the system energy.

[Output info:]

This compute calculates a per-atom vector, which can be accessed by
any command that uses per-atom values from a compute as input.  See
"Section_howto 15"_Section_howto.html#howto_15 for an overview of
LAMMPS output options.

The per-atom vector values will be in energy "units"_units.html.

[Restrictions:]

[Related commands:]

"compute pe"_compute_pe.html, "compute
stress/atom"_compute_stress_atom.html

[Default:] none
