Setting multiple new atype/dtype/itype with LAMMPS fix bond/create
When creating a new bond in a LAMMPS simulation with the command fix/bond create it is likely new angles/dihedrals/impropers be need to be set. This can be done with the atype/dtype/itype arguments ...

How can I calculate the Poisson ratio of an amorphous material with LAMMPS?
I noticed that we can calculate the Poisson ratio of a crystalline metals with LAMMPS. I wonder if we can use that example for a metallic glass! If no, is there any other way, with another software?

Why can't I reproduce the behavior of an H-saturated graphene flake?
I'm trying to simulate a graphene flake with its edge C atoms saturated by H atoms, in a temperature ramp from 300 K to 1600 K, using LAMMPS and the AIREBO potential proposed by Stuart et al. in 2000.
