orientorder.out

This file stores the Steinhardt order parameters. It is automatically generated when the compute_orientorder keyword is invoked.

File format

The data are written in a repeating block structure:

  • First line: the current simulation step.

  • Second line: column headers indicating the computed degrees. For example, if degrees 4 and 6 are calculated together with their \(w_l\) versions, the column names will be: ql4 ql6 wl4 wl6

  • Subsequent lines: per-atom order parameter values for the given step.
