dihedral_style fourier command :h3

[Syntax:]

dihedral_style fourier :pre

[Examples:]

dihedral_style fourier
dihedral_coeff 3 -0.846200 3 0 7.578800 1 0 0.138000 2 -180 :pre

[Description:]

The {fourier} dihedral style uses the potential:

The following coefficients must be defined for each dihedral type via the
"dihedral_coeff"_dihedral_coeff.html command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the "read_data"_read_data.html
or "read_restart"_read_restart.html commands:

m (integer >=1)
K1 (energy)
n1 (integer >= 0)
d1 (integer value of degrees)
....
Km (energy)
nm (integer >= 0)
dm (integer value of degrees)

[Restrictions:]

This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
USER_MISC package.  See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 
section for more info on packages.
