MeanRadius

The MeanRadius step calculates and records the mean radius of the system, defined as the average distance of particles from the center of mass.

Output format:

# step MeanRadius
0 5.678
100 5.789
200 5.890

  • type: GeometricalMeasure, MeanRadius

  • parameters:

    • outputFilePath: string: Path to the output file

Example:

"meanRadius":{
  "type":["GeometricalMeasure","MeanRadius"],
  "parameters":{
    "intervalStep": 10000,
    "outputFilePath": "mean_radius.dat"
  }
}

Note

The output file will contain the step number and the mean radius value.

Tip

This measure can be useful for monitoring the overall size or compactness of the system over time.
