Hi all,
I'm new to LIGGGHTS, and know quite little about the code. Thus, this question may appear to be quite simple for all of you.
In the simulation code, we just use numbers, e.g. 1,2... to represent different types of atom. I just wonder what's the really meaning of atom_types? Is there any relationship between these numbers and real atom_types?
Please give me some ideas about that.
Cheers,
Tao

We often refer to "particles"
We often refer to "particles" as "atoms". So atom_type means particle type / material type

I just got a little bit confused
Hi Christoph,
Thanks a lot for your fast reply. I just got a little bit confused about this definition. I mean, I can only specify a number, e.g. 1, to the particle type. Does this number just represent one type of particles and there is no other meanings? Is there relationship between atom_type and atom_style?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Tao
