Shearing an orthogonal box

Submitted by jagan1mohan on Wed, 03/24/2021 - 18:44

Hello Team,

can we have fix deform applied to an orthogonal box?

That is, when we use fix deform (say shearing in the x-direction) on a triclinic box, the box deforms and a linear velocity profile is developed.

Can we get the same linear velocity profile without deforming the box?

All 6 faces are periodic.

Thank you.

Hey
Not sure that, fix deform command will work in the case of DEM simulations.
But certainly, I have come across a few LAMMPS scripts (MD simulations) using the above command.
Thanks
