angle_style class2 command :h3
angle_style class2/kk command :h3
angle_style class2/omp command :h3
angle_style class2/p6 command :h3

[Syntax:]

angle_style class2 :pre

[Examples:]

angle_style class2
angle_coeff * 75.0
angle_coeff 1 bb 10.5872 1.0119 1.5228
angle_coeff * ba 3.6551 24.895 1.0119 1.5228 :pre

[Description:]

The {class2} angle style uses the potential

:c,image(Eqs/angle_class2.jpg)

where Ea is the angle term, Ebb is a bond-bond term, and Eba is a
bond-angle term.  Theta0 is the equilibrium angle and r1 and r2 are
the equilibrium bond lengths.

See "(Sun)"_#angle-Sun for a description of the COMPASS class2 force field.

Coefficients for the Ea, Ebb, and Eba formulas must be defined for
each angle type via the "angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html command as in
the example above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
commands.

These are the 4 coefficients for the Ea formula:

theta0 (degrees)
K2 (energy/radian^2)
K3 (energy/radian^3)
K4 (energy/radian^4) :ul

Theta0 is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to radians
internally; hence the units of the various K are in per-radian.

For the Ebb formula, each line in a "angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html
command in the input script lists 4 coefficients, the first of which
is "bb" to indicate they are BondBond coefficients.  In a data file,
these coefficients should be listed under a "BondBond Coeffs" heading
and you must leave out the "bb", i.e. only list 3 coefficients after
the angle type.

bb
M (energy/distance^2)
r1 (distance)
r2 (distance) :ul

For the Eba formula, each line in a "angle_coeff"_angle_coeff.html
command in the input script lists 5 coefficients, the first of which
is "ba" to indicate they are BondAngle coefficients.  In a data file,
these coefficients should be listed under a "BondAngle Coeffs" heading
and you must leave out the "ba", i.e. only list 4 coefficients after
the angle type.

ba
N1 (energy/distance^2)
N2 (energy/distance^2)
r1 (distance)
r2 (distance) :ul

The theta0 value in the Eba formula is not specified, since it is the
same value from the Ea formula.

Styles with a {gpu}, {intel}, {kk}, {omp}, or {opt} suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed on the "Speed packages"_Speed_packages.html doc
page.  The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should
produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.

These accelerated styles are part of the GPU, USER-INTEL, KOKKOS,
USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively.  They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with those packages.  See the "Build
package"_Build_package.html doc page for more info.

You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
switch"_Run_options.html when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can use the
"suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.

See the "Speed packages"_Speed_packages.html doc page for more
instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

:line

The {class2/p6} angle style uses the {class2} potential expanded to sixth order:

:c,image(Eqs/angle_class2_p6.jpg)

In this expanded term 6 coefficients for the Ea formula need to be set:

theta0 (degrees)
K2 (energy/radian^2)
K3 (energy/radian^3)
K4 (energy/radian^4)
K5 (energy/radian^5)
K6 (energy/radian^6) :ul

The bond-bond and bond-angle terms remain unchanged.

:line

[Restrictions:]

This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the CLASS2
package.  For the {class2/p6} style LAMMPS needs to be built with the
USER-MOFFF package.  See the "Build package"_Build_package.html doc
page for more info.
