invalid atom style

Submitted by neelu09 on Tue, 02/14/2012 - 20:09

hi

I am not able to use atom style ellipsoid for my simulation. I have done work using liggghts with granular atom style and had no problems. But when i try to use ellipsoid atom style, it gives an error saying "invalid atom style". Same goes for colloid and dipole atom styles as well. Here's my input file
atom_style ellipsoid
boundary f f f
newton off
atom_modify sort 0 0

communicate single vel yes
units si

region reg cylinder y 0 0 0.0225 0 .08 units box

create_box 2 reg

neighbor 0.001 bin
neigh_modify delay 0

shape 1 1.0 1.0 1.0
shape 2 1.0 4.0 1.0
mass 1 30
mass 2 60

do i need to add anything for this to work.

Also, i reinstalled liggghts-dev using ubuntu package installer but when i run it, it says LIGGGHTS 1.5 even though 1.5.1 has been released.

Plz Help :)

you have to compile in the ASPHERE package-see the doc for details

thanks for your help Christoph. so i need to compile lammmps with asphere package included and then compile liggghts again as given in the tutorial?
