include command — LAMMPS 15 May 2015 version documentation

# include command

## Syntax

    include file

- file = filename of new input script to switch to

## Examples

    include newfile
    include in.run2

## Description

This command opens a new input script file and begins reading LAMMPS commands from that file. When the new file is finished, the original file is returned to. Include files can be nested as deeply as desired. If input script A includes script B, and B includes A, then LAMMPS could run for a long time.

If the filename is a variable (see the variable command), different processor partitions can run different input scripts.
