thermo_log command¶

Syntax¶

thermo_log file keyword

• file = name of new thermo logfile

• keyword = append if output should be appended to thermo logfile (optional)

Examples¶

thermo_log log.equil
thermo_log log.equil append

Description¶

This command closes any current LAMMPS thermo log file, opens a new file with the specified name, and begins logging thermo information to it. If the specified file name is none, then no new thermo log file is opened. If the optional keyword append is specified, then output will be appended to an existing thermo log file, instead of overwriting it.

If multiple processor partitions are being used, the file name should be a variable, so that different processors do not attempt to write to the same thermo log file.

The default setting for the thermo log file is none. The name of the thermo log file can also be set by the command-line switch -thermo. See Section 2.7 for details.

Restrictions¶

none
