Electrostatics

Hi all,

Can anyone help me in working with assigning external electric field ?
I could not find much information about this part, like how am I supposed to change the source code in setting the E-field direction?

Thank you.

This fix is part of the MISC package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. (manual, bottom of doc/fix_efield.html)
in terminal

cd LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src/
make yes-MISC
make clean-all
make fedora -j

I'm not sure if fix efield is suitable for granular style, did not tried.
cheers,
Christian.
