📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe equilibration LAMMPS input now resets the timestep counter between minimization stages. A regression test verifies that the generated input contains three minimizations and resets after the first two. ChangesLAMMPS timestep alignment
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to In the triclinic relaxation path, the timestep is reset while an active dump is still present, causing LAMMPS to fail after the first minimization. The dump must be stopped and recreated around the reset before this change is merge-ready. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

existing reset_timestep commands so dump 1 is stopped with undump 1 before each
reset when change_box is enabled. Recreate dump 1 before the next minimization
using append mode to preserve existing dump.relax frames, and extend the

💡 Result:
In LAMMPS, the commands reset_timestep, dump, dump_modify, and undump are used together to manage simulation time and data output. A critical restriction is that you cannot use the reset_timestep command while a dump command is active [1][2]. Below is the required workflow to safely change the timestep and manage dump files: 1. Stop the active dump: Use the undump command to stop the dump associated with a specific dump-ID [3][4]. This action closes the associated dump file [3][5]. 2. Reset the timestep: Once the dump is inactive, you may safely use the reset_timestep command to set the timestep counter to a new value [6][1]. 3. Re-start the dump: If you wish to continue dumping data, you must define a new dump command [1][2]. Regarding dump_modify options: - Append: The append keyword (used with dump_modify) controls whether new snapshots are added to the end of an existing text-based dump file (append yes) or if a new file is created that overwrites the existing one (append no, which is the default) [7][8]. This option applies to most dump styles, but excludes binary, compressed, and image/movie formats [7][8]. If you intend to change the timestep and then resume dumping while managing existing files, you must ensure the dump is turned off (undump) before resetting the timestep, as LAMMPS will terminate with an error if a timestep change is attempted while a dump is active [1][2].

Stop the active dump before resetting the timestep.
When change_box=True, dump 1 remains active during both reset_timestep 0 commands. LAMMPS rejects timestep changes while a dump is active, so the input fails after the first minimization.
Issue undump 1 before each reset. Recreate the dump before the next minimization with append enabled to preserve existing dump.relax frames. Extend the regression test to check this command sequence.
