fix_modify AtC fe_md_boundary command
=====================================

Syntax
""""""

.. parsed-literal::

   fix_modify <AtC fixID> fe_md_boundary <faceset|interpolate|no_boundary>

* AtC fixID = ID of :doc:`fix atc <fix_atc>` instance
* fe_md_boundary = name of the AtC sub-command
* *faceset* or *interpolate* or *no_boundary*

Examples
""""""""

.. code-block:: LAMMPS

   fix_modify AtC fe_md_boundary interpolate

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

Specifies different methods for computing fluxes between between the MD
and FE integration regions.  Faceset defines a faceset separating the MD
and FE regions and uses finite element face quadrature to compute the
flux.  Interpolate uses a reconstruction scheme to approximate the flux,
which is more robust but less accurate if the MD/FE boundary does
correspond to a faceset.  No boundary results in no fluxes between the
systems being computed.


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

If *faceset* is used, all the AtC non-boundary atoms must lie within and
completely fill the domain enclosed by the faceset.
