<CENTER><H3>LIGGGHTS Documentation, Version 3.X 
</H3></CENTER>
<HR>

<CENTER><IMG SRC = "Portfolio_LIGGGHTS.png">
</CENTER>
<HR>

<P>LIGGGHTS stands for LAMMPS Improved for General Granular and Granular 
Heat Transfer Simulations. It is part of the <A HREF = "http://www.cfdem.com">CFDEMproject</A>, www.cfdem.com
</P>
<P>The core developers of LIGGGHTS are Christoph Kloss (DCS Computing GmbH, Linz and JKU Linz)
and Richard Berger (JKU Linz), with major contributions from Philippe Seil, Andreas Aigner 
and Stefan Amberger (all JKU Linz) and Christoph Goniva (DCS Computing GmbH, Linz and JKU Linz)
</P>
<P><A HREF = "http://www.cfdem.com">CFDEMproject</A> has more information about the code and its uses. 
For questions about the code, please use the forums at <A HREF = "http://www.cfdem.com">CFDEMproject</A>.
</P>
<P>LIGGGHTS is based on LAMMPS (see below), and so is its manual. So if the manual says
'LAMMPS', you could read 'LIGGGHTS' instead. However, we want to make clear which 
parts of the code and framework stem from the LAMMPS base.
</P>
<H4>LIGGGHTS Version info: 
</H4>
<P>All LIGGGHTS versions are based on a specific version of LAMMPS, as printed in 
the file src/version.h LIGGGHTS version are identidied by a version number (e.g. '3.0'),
a branch name (e.g. 'LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC' for the public release of LIGGGHTS),
compilation info (date / time stamp and user name), and a LAMMPS version 
number (which is the LAMMPS version that the LIGGGHTS release is based on).
For info on the LAMMPS version, see below.
</P>
<H4>LAMMPS Version info: 
</H4>
<P>The LAMMPS "version" is the date when it was released, such as 1 May
2010. LAMMPS is updated continuously.  Whenever we fix a bug or add a
feature, we release it immediately, and post a notice on <A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov/bug.html">this page of
the WWW site</A>.  Each dated copy of LAMMPS contains all the
features and bug-fixes up to and including that version date. The
version date is printed to the screen and logfile every time you run
LAMMPS. It is also in the file src/version.h and in the LAMMPS
directory name created when you unpack a tarball, and at the top of
the first page of the manual (this page).
</P>
<UL><LI>If you browse the HTML doc pages on the LAMMPS WWW site, they always
describe the most current version of LAMMPS. 

<LI>If you browse the HTML doc pages included in your tarball, they
describe the version you have. 

<LI>The <A HREF = "Manual.pdf">PDF file</A> on the WWW site or in the tarball is updated
about once per month.  This is because it is large, and we don't want
it to be part of every patch. 

<LI>There is also a <A HREF = "Developer.pdf">Developer.pdf</A> file in the doc
directory, which describes the internal structure and algorithms of
LAMMPS.  
</UL>
<P>LAMMPS stands for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel
Simulator.
</P>
<P>LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics simulation code designed to
run efficiently on parallel computers.  It was developed at Sandia
National Laboratories, a US Department of Energy facility, with
funding from the DOE.  It is an open-source code, distributed freely
under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL).
</P>
<P>The primary developers of LAMMPS are <A HREF = "http://www.sandia.gov/~sjplimp">Steve Plimpton</A>, Aidan
Thompson, and Paul Crozier who can be contacted at
sjplimp,athomps,pscrozi at sandia.gov.  The <A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov">LAMMPS WWW Site</A> at
http://lammps.sandia.gov has more information about the code and its
uses.
</P>




<HR>

<P>The LAMMPS documentation is organized into the following sections.  If
you find errors or omissions in this manual or have suggestions for
useful information to add, please send an email to the developers so
we can improve the LAMMPS documentation.
</P>
<P>Once you are familiar with LAMMPS, you may want to bookmark <A HREF = "Section_commands.html#comm">this
page</A> at Section_commands.html#comm since
it gives quick access to documentation for all LAMMPS commands.
