compute smd/tlsph_defgrad command — LAMMPS 15 May 2015 version documentation

# compute smd/tlsph_defgrad command

## Syntax

    compute ID group-ID smd/tlsph_defgrad

- ID, group-ID are documented in compute command
- smd/tlsph_defgrad = style name of this compute command

## Examples

    compute 1 all smd/tlsph_defgrad

## Description

Define a computation that calculates the deformation gradient. It is only meaningful for particles which interact according to the Total-Lagrangian SPH pair style.

See this PDF guide to use Smooth Mach Dynamics in LAMMPS.

Output info:

This compute outputss a per-particle vector of vectors (tensors), which can be accessed by any command that uses per-particle values from a compute as input. See How-to discussions, section 6.15 for an overview of LAMMPS output options.

The per-particle vector values will be given dimensionless. See units. The per-particle vector has 10 entries. The first nine entries correspond to the xx, xy, xz, yx, yy, yz, zx, zy, zz components of the asymmetric deformation gradient tensor. The tenth entry is the determinant of the deformation gradient.

## Restrictions

This compute is part of the USER-SMD package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the Making LAMMPS section for more info. TThis compute can only be used for particles which interact via the total Lagrangian SPH pair style.
