Hi Charles, Your request is unfortunately not matched by any command within mmc... The limited range refers to a range of atom numbers. As these atom number will usually not be sorted by distance from the center the limitation does not help. In addition this is a hard limitation, such that atoms that are outside the range are not taken into account at all. Now, DISCUS has grown in part due to these kind of user inquiries. Thus, lets specify a bit more in detail the mmc simulation you have in mind. Would a mode suite you in which the target value changes linearly(sloped) between two limiting values over a range of distances from a user specified point in the crystal? See the graph for an example I have in mind. For a linear slope one would have to specify: value at center value at "infinity" distance of first corner to the center distance of second corner to the center similarly, a sloped (tanh(distance)) function would need value at center value at "infinity" distance of inflection point from the center distance of a "quarter change" point from the center The tanh nicely does a S-shaped slope, does not have the sudden changes as a linear model would be, BUT as the two curves blue and black show, with a smaller slope, i.e. short distance of the "quarter" point to the center, the actual value at the center will be higher than the specified value unless I do a lot of adjustments. Best Reinhard Neder > Hi, > We are interested in doing a Monte Carlo displacement to a target value that depends on the radial distance from the center of a spherical crystal. It appears that the 'mmc set limited' command might be appropriate for restricting the relaxation to a limited region about a specific lattice site in our sample. However, it is not clear to us what the interval [<nmin>:<nmax>] refers to in the help menu (distance, atom index, etc?). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for any help. > Charles > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
