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

Perform time integration to update position, velocity, internal energy
and local density for atoms in the group each timestep. This fix is
needed to time-integrate SPH systems where particles carry internal
variables such as internal energy.  SPH stands for Smoothed Particle
Hydrodynamics.

See `this PDF guide <PDF/SPH_LAMMPS_userguide.pdf>`_ to using SPH in
LAMMPS.

No information about this fix is written to :doc:`binary restart files <restart>`.  None of the :doc:`fix_modify <fix_modify>` options
are relevant to this fix.  No global or per-atom quantities are stored
by this fix for access by various :doc:`output commands <Howto_output>`.
No parameter of this fix can be used with the *start/stop* keywords of
the :doc:`run <run>` command.  This fix is not invoked during :doc:`energy minimization <minimize>`.

Restrictions
