### fix_modify AtC time_integration (thermal)

#### syntax

fix_modify AtC time_integration <descriptor>

- descriptor (string) = time integration type

various time integration methods for the finite elements

#### description

gear - atomic velocity update with 2nd order Verlet, nodal temperature update with 3rd or 4th order Gear, thermostats based on controlling power
fractional_step - atomic velocity update with 2nd order Verlet, mixed nodal temperature update, 3/4 Gear for continuum and 2 Verlet for atomic contributions, thermostats based on controlling discrete energy changes
