[Tremolo-users] Stress-strain questions

[caoch]

Dear Ralf

  Thank you for the answer. Please inform me when you put a Non-
equilibration example in the tar file.

  At this time, Can you tell the way of setting an external stress tensor in
the simulation parameter file?
  For example, if I want to add 0.01Gpa/ps external stress along the second
axis, say Y direction, how can I set time step(1ps), tensor(the value of XX
YY ZZ XY XZ YZ) and the real stress(0.01Gpa)? Although I think these setup
should be easily defined in the ensemble and propagator section of the
simulation parameter file, I don't know what these keywords are.
  Furthermore, is it possible for setting a limitation value to the
simulation system, such as the simulation will be stopped when the loaded
strain reached to some value?

  Best regards

Thanks for your interest in Tremolo.  We have made a package available,
but not yet announced it, because there are a few known issues we'd like
to still fix first.  Announcement and updated package are to follow real
soon now.

I'll make sure there is a non-equilibration example in the tree, and at
least a bit of documentation for the add-on tools.

At this time, such a thing does not exist, unfortunately.  Most
algorithmic details are explained in the published book, and we're
working on a docbook-style document for the simulation code.

Best regards,
Ralf
