Description
"""""""""""

The *class2* angle style uses the potential

.. math::

   E & = E_a + E_{bb} + E_{ba} \\
   E_a & = K_2 (\theta - \theta_0)^2 + K_3 (\theta - \theta_0)^3 + K_4(\theta - \theta_0)^4 \\
   E_{bb} & = M (r_{ij} - r_1) (r_{jk} - r_2) \\
   E_{ba} & = N_1 (r_{ij} - r_1) (\theta - \theta_0) + N_2(r_{jk} - r_2)(\theta - \theta_0)

where :math:`E_a` is the angle term, :math:`E_{bb}` is a bond-bond
term, and :math:`E_{ba}` is a bond-angle term.  :math:`\theta_0` is
the equilibrium angle and :math:`r_1` and :math:`r_2` are the
equilibrium bond lengths.

See :ref:`(Sun) <angle-Sun>` for a description of the COMPASS class2 force field.

Coefficients for the :math:`E_a`, :math:`E_{bb}`, and :math:`E_{ba}`
formulas must be defined for each angle type via the :doc:`angle_coeff
<angle_coeff>` command as in the example above, or in the data file or
restart files read by the :doc:`read_data <read_data>` or
:doc:`read_restart <read_restart>` commands.

These are the 4 coefficients for the :math:`E_a` formula:

* :math:`\theta_0` (degrees)
* :math:`K_2` (energy)
* :math:`K_3` (energy)
* :math:`K_4` (energy)

:math:`\theta_0` is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to
radians internally; hence the various :math:`K` are effectively energy
per radian\^2 or radian\^3 or radian\^4.

For the :math:`E_{bb}` formula, each line in a :doc:`angle_coeff <angle_coeff>`
command in the input script lists 4 coefficients, the first of which
is "bb" to indicate they are BondBond coefficients.  In a data file,
these coefficients should be listed under a "BondBond Coeffs" heading
and you must leave out the "bb", i.e. only list 3 coefficients after
the angle type.

* bb
* :math:`M` (energy/distance\^2)
* :math:`r_1` (distance)
* :math:`r_2` (distance)

For the :math:`E_{ba}` formula, each line in a :doc:`angle_coeff <angle_coeff>`
command in the input script lists 5 coefficients, the first of which
is "ba" to indicate they are BondAngle coefficients.  In a data file,
these coefficients should be listed under a "BondAngle Coeffs" heading
and you must leave out the "ba", i.e. only list 4 coefficients after
the angle type.

* ba
* :math:`N_1` (energy/distance\^2)
* :math:`N_2` (energy/distance\^2)
* :math:`r_1` (distance)
* :math:`r_2` (distance)

The :math:`\theta_0` value in the :math:`E_{ba}` formula is not specified,
since it is the same value from the :math:`E_a` formula.

----------

The *class2/p6* angle style uses the *class2* potential expanded to sixth order:

.. math::

   E_{a} = K_2\left(\theta - \theta_0\right)^2 + K_3\left(\theta - \theta_0\right)^3 + K_4\left(\theta - \theta_0\right)^4 + K_5\left(\theta - \theta_0\right)^5 + K_6\left(\theta - \theta_0\right)^6

In this expanded term 6 coefficients for the :math:`E_a` formula need to be set:

* :math:`\theta_0` (degrees)
* :math:`K_2` (energy)
* :math:`K_3` (energy)
* :math:`K_4` (energy)
* :math:`K_5` (energy)
* :math:`K_6` (energy)

:math:`\theta_0` is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to
radians internally; hence the various :math:`K` are effectively energy
per radian\^2 or radian\^3 or radian\^4 or radian\^5 or radian\^6.

The bond-bond and bond-angle terms remain unchanged.

----------

Restrictions
""""""""""""

This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the CLASS2
package.  For the *class2/p6* style LAMMPS needs to be built with the
MOFFF package.  See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc
page for more info.
