Displacements Analysis

Compare two configurations atom by atom and measure displacement vectors.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
referencefileReference LAMMPS dump file. If omitted, the current frame is used, which usually produces near-zero displacement.
micbooltrueUse minimum image convention.
affineMappingstringnoMappingAffine mapping mode. Options: noMapping, toReferenceCell, toCurrentCell.
